I Ain't Looking For No One To Love Poem by John Howard Davies

AIN'T LOOKING FOR NO ONE TO LOVE
by John (JOCK) Howard Davies Copyright 2016

I'M HEADING DOWN AN OPEN ROAD WHERE I'VE NOT BEEN BEFORE
HEADING DOWN AN OPEN ROAD WITH MY BACK AGAINST THE DOOR
AIN'T NO TURNING BACK FOR ME OF THAT I'M MORE THAN SURE
NO ONE GONNA GET MY HEART, I AIN'T LOOKING ANYMORE

PEOPLE TELL ME LOTS OF THINGS ABOUT THE WAY I AM
HOW I SHOULD CONDUCT MYSELF AND BE A STRAIGHTER MAN
THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT I KNOW DEEP INSIDE MY SOUL
I LIVE MY LIFE THE WAY I WANT AND I GO THE WAY I GO

ALL OF US PROTECT OURSELVES AGAINST A BREAK IN HEART
WE ALL KNOIW THE RISKS WE TAKE WHEN LOVING MAKES A START
NONE OF US ALLOWS OURSELVES TO THINK ABOUT THOSE THINGS
ALL WE SEE IS HAPPINESS THE CHURCH AND WEDDING RINGS

NOW YOU MAY THINK I'M A BITTER MAN AND I HAVE NO LOVING LEFT
BUT YOU'D BE WRONG IN YOUR ESTIMATE I'VE PASSED THE LOVING TEST
MY MEMORY IT SERVES ME WELL OF THAT I CAN BE SURE
BUT I HOLD MY THOUGHTS WITHIN MY HEART FOR A DAY AND EVERMORE

DAYS AND NIGHTS THAT PASS ME BY CAN SHAPE A SILVER TEAR
BUT THEN THE WARMTH OF SUNSHINE CAN DRY AWAY THAT FEAR
AIN'T NO GOOD IN THINKING ABOUT THE WAY THINGS USED TO BE
MANY TEARS WILL MAKE YOU BLIND AND THAT AIN'T THE WAY FOR ME

I ain't looking for no one to love
ain't looking for no one to love.
