I Don’t Love Her
The intial lines that became this song on The Year of Longing Dangerously were written way back in 2000, I think, when a girl and I (where are you, Brett Tiller?) went to extreme lengths to reassure each other that we weren’t in love.Started out funny, turned sad, then got changed from “I don’t love you” at the last minute. I always knew, though, that it had to be jazz.
I don’t love her.
I’ve cleaned my heart right out.
I don’t think of her
When I turn the light out.
Once, when she first had gone,
I might have done so.
But now, now I have moved on
And I’m having fun, so!
Wait a minute…
What’s the act for?
Who am I trying to kid?
I want her back more
Than I ever did.
Yes, my heart breaks,
But I made mistakes
And now I can’t have her.
So that’s why I lie,
Pretending that I…
Don’t love her.
