Lyrics

[Verse 1]
This is not a love song
[Verse 2]
Happy to have, not to have not
Big business is very wise
I'm crossing over into enterprise
[Verse 3]
This is not a love song
This is not a love song
This is not a love song
This is not a love song
[Verse 4]
I'm adaptable, now I like my new role
I'm getting better and better
I have a new goal
I'm changing my ways where money applies
This is not a love song
[Verse 5]
This is not a love song
This is not a love song
This is not a love song
This is not a love song
[Verse 6]
I'm going over to the other side
I'm happy to have, not to have not
Big business is very wise
I'm inside free enterprise
[Verse 7]
This is not a love song
This is not a love song
This is not a love song
This is not a love song
[Verse 8]
Not television
Behind the curtain
Out of the cupboard
You take the first train
Into the big world
Are you ready to grab the candle
Not television
[Verse 9]
This is not a love song
This is not a love song
This is not a love song
This is not a love song
