I’m not gonna write a love song
About how much you mean to me
There’s no need for silly love songs
I’m just gonna let it be
I’ll just shout it from a mountain
Write your name across the sky
Send a message in a bottle
Give a million reasons why

I’m not gonna write a love song
I’m not even gonna sing
I don’t need to write a love song
I don’t need to do a thing
But say I love you over Twitter
Watch my message multiply
And tell everyone on Facebook
How I’m just a lucky guy

I’ll tattoo your name across my forehead
Go and buy a friendship ring
Take an ad out in the paper
A dozen roses I will bring
Then I’ll make for you a mix tape
Put on all your very favorite songs
That say everything I want to say
So you can sing along

But I’m not gonna write a love song
‘Cause it’s all a waste of time
And anyway I don’t know how
To make up words that rhyme
So don’t expect a love song
It’s just not reality
I’m sending you a text to ask
if you will marry me

And should I ever change my mind
And stop to think again
Perhaps I’ll write a love song
But I’m just not saying when
