No More "I Love You's"

Song by Annie Lennox.


[back chorus:] (Do be do be do do do, oh-oh)

I used to be a lunatic
from the gracious days
I used to feel woebegone
and so restless nights
My aching heart would bleed
for you to see

Oh, but now
(I don't find myself bouncing home)
(Whistling buttonhole tunes to make me cry)

No more "I love you's"
The language is leaving me
No more "I love you's"
Changes are shifting
Outside the words

(The lover speaks about the monsters)

[back chorus:] (Do be do be do do do, oh-oh)
I used to have demons
in my room at night
Desire, despair, desire
So many monsters

Oh, but now
(I don't find myself bouncing around)
(Whistling my consence to make me cry)

*   No more "I love you's"
The language is leaving me
No more "I love you's"
The language is leaving me in silence
No more "I love you's"
Changes are shifting
Outside the words

    [child speech:]
And people are being real crazy
But we will only come
And you know what mommy?
Everybody was being real crazy
Mommy, the monsters are crazy
There are monsters outside

[repeat *]

No more "I love you's"
(Language is just leaving me)
No more "I love you's"!
(Language is leaving me)
No more "I love you's"
Changes are shifting outside the words

[back chorus:] (Do be do be do do do, oh-oh...)

Outside the words
