"NOT THE ONE"

Written 2018-08-16

A night when we cross paths

a blast from the past

the way you look at me

full of familiarity

I know you’re still curious

telling me you’re serious

about giving us another night

believing the timing is right

It’s tempting, it sounds fun

but you know I’m not the one

You wish to add some scores

but you’ll find me quite a bore

‘cause I ain’t gonna give you

any of that on the floor

Think you’re charming?

I’m only playing

You want the same game

I’d better put you to shame

I’m still out of your league

I will not go weak

Still the same wrong girl

you’re going after

Same old pickup lines

but you ain’t my reason to shine

You’re begging for more

but I’m aching for the door

We’re never gonna do it

anywhere right on the floor

Give it up

Pack your bags

It’s getting late

Accept your fate

Why still want me

when they’d like to be

another one night stand

or perhaps the next girlfriend?

Okay, then fine

One last kiss and done

I’m no conquest, for sure

I deserve something more

Forget the idea

of you and me

in your bed or on the floor!
