Lyrics
I don't love anyone
You're not listening
You're playing with something
You're playing with yourself
I don't love anyone
You're not listening even now
You're playing with someone
You're playing with someone else
And if there's one thing that I learned when I was still a child
It's to take a hiding
I don't love anything
Not even Christmas
Especially not that
I don't love anything
No, I don't love anyone
Well maybe my sister
And maybe my baby brother too
I don't love anyone else
And if there's one thing that I learned when I was still a child
It's to take a hiding
Yeah if there's one thing that I learned when I was still at school
It's to be alone
Instrumental
And if there's one thing that I learned when I was still a child
It's to take a hiding
Out in the street today
The kids are out playing, having fun
But I pass them by, I'm not a kid, no
And I don't love anyone
I met a man today
And he told me something pretty strange
There's always somebody saying something
He said The World
Is As Soft As Lace
But I don't love anyone...
