lyrics

Send me all your letters about it
'Cause I don’t wanna hear
Anything more about love

I’m supposed to have multiple attachments
To people I don’t even know
People I’m supposed to go out to bars
And hunt ‘em down like wild, wild game

So send me all your letters about me
Tell me you’d be happier with me
I don’t wanna hear all that shit
I don’t wanna hear it
Don’t wanna hear anything more
About love.

You say you like me?
Take it back.
Take it back.

And so, no, I don’t wanna hear no more
About love

I think that in Portland
People get married
I think that in Asheville
People get married
I think that in Charleston
People get married
I think that in California
Some parts of California they get married.

Looks like I've gotta move
Or move on from the idea
That I could get married
Married and happy
Or maybe just happy.

Happy with you
Being happy with me
Happy with you
Just being happy with me.

You say you like me?
Take it back.

We’d have a son
Or no kids at all
And all we’d fight about
All we’d fight about
Is what colors
To turn the lights on
Is what colors
To turn the lights on

Love, don’t wanna hear
Love, I don’t wanna hear
Love, I don’t wanna hear

Turn the lights on.
