The Last - I don't wanna be in Love

I Don't Wanna Be in Love (Joe Nolte, September 1977)

I don't wanna be in love
Don't wanna mess around with nobody no more
I don't wanna be in love
Don't wanna get fooled by nobody no more

Used to spend all my time
Talking on the phone
Used to lie awake nights
Dreaming like a fool
I used to be hooked to the energy drain
Spend all my money to be driven insane

Well I go with you to this and that
I shy away from you
When we get to where it's at
Well it ain't cause I hate you
And I'm not shy
But looking at you I can see the danger in your eyes

LOVE IS A GOBBLER, LOVE IS A TURKEY!
Love is a made up fantasy dream
Fades in the morning
Yeah
Just like a dream

About:
"I never quite got together with "L" (look - another initial!) -- it was weird for both of us even though there was obviously some sort of mutual attraction -- so I tried to put the weirdness into a song, which ended up being this one." — Joe Nolte
