I say no to love,
For myself it is not meant to be
These days are not thereof
They make love a mockery,
Love is not being apart
Or words which are easily spoke
Love is the binding of the soul and heart
Which allows sensations to evoke.
I say no to love,
Keep your arrows away from me
I want to die alone in a cave or cove
My love, it will be with nobody,
I am not looking for sex or lust
Or for an angel from above
I'm not looking for a person to bring disgust
So again; I say no to love.
I said no to love and also to her,
She was not what I was looking for
With love she was an amateur
And I was searching for much more,
I was wanting to share my life
And I wanted someone I could think about
Then I wanted a partner and a wife
Not someone to take care of, and then doubt.
I said no to love,
But I said yes to everything else
To temptations and wants I gave a shove
As that is not me, but someone else,
I want to keep the memories of my past
As I was in love once, I do confess
It was a short memory that will last
That is the only love, to which I said yes.
