What That Means
Tell me that's not what you're thinking,
please let it be anything but that.
Never before did I understand,
the phrase at the drop of a hat.
So you had better leave my dog,
no, I'm not gonna help you pack
and just so you know, once you go,
there's no such thing as coming back.
and I'd say a few more words
but I think I left the oven on.
I know you see right through that,
but now I just want you gone.
So don't try to drag it out,
or make it some big scene.
If you don't love me, you don't love me,
and baby, I know what that means.
Toss the fish back in the ocean,
you weren't satisfied with the catch.
We met and I fell and it was over
before I could ever catch my breath.
So you can say it's about you,
why you're leaving, and it's not me.
You seem to think I don't get it,
but I'm no longer twenty-three.
and I'd say a few more words
but I think I left my iron on.
I know you see right through that,
but now I just want you gone.
So don't try to drag it out,
or make it some big scene.
If you don't love me, you don't love me,
and baby, I know what that means.
So wrap it up, and end your speech,
whatever makes you feel good.
I don't care about your reasons,
I don't know why you think I would.
See I just wasn't the right girl,
I couldn't keep your attention.
I know you're on to someone else,
I'd rather it not be mentioned.
and I'd say a few more words
but I think I left my straightener on.
I know you see right through that,
but now I just want you gone.
So don't try to drag it out,
or make it some big scene.
If you don't love me, you don't love me,
and baby, I know what that means.
