This song is not about the way that you kiss
And its not about the coquettish swaying of your hips
And its not about the way that you twirl when you dance
And its not about our first
Oh that first side long glance

No it's not about these things at all
No i know that wouldn't do
No its not about our rise and fall
No this song is not about you

This song is not about your skin so young and pale
And its not about your fingers so slender almost frail
And its not about your eyes that sparkle in the dark
And its not about your body shot through with electric sparks

Oh its not about these things at all
And i would like to prove to you
That its not about our rise and fall
No this song is not about you

This song is not about your headstrong, and stubborn ways
Your crazy lazy bitter days your laughing loving tender phase
This song is not about what went wrong
The screams and shouts, the hurtful words, the nagging doubts
The fits of love and then the droughts
And all of the things oh that heartache can bring
Its not about me loving you, its not about the things you do
Its not about what isnt true
Oh this song is not about you
This song is not about the love that we once shared
Or the absence of you and the mountain of despair
Upon which i have built myself a home
A place where i live by myself so alone

No its not about these things at all
No i know that wouldn't do
No its not about our rise and fall
No this song is not about you. --
