UPDATE: OK, I've switched the genre from jazz to R&B. (-: I love Raul's performance here.
Hope you y'all enjoy it as well. (-:

Lyrics: Donna Devine
Not A Love Song
(v1)
Don’t tease me with your chatter
'Cause only one thing matters
I was fine before you
Not going to change my ways
(v2)
Don’t think the way your eyes glow
Will make me want to follow
I was fine before you
In how I spent my days
Chorus
This is not a love song
No starry skies in sight
No mention of a quiet walk
Or a moonlit summer night
No words about your tender ways
That fill my every thought
Don’t think this is a love song
‘Cause it’s not
(v3)
Don’t wonder if I tumbled
Would I be rightly humbled
I was fine before you
And never lost my heart
(v4)
Don’t get your girlish hopes up
It’s high time that I spoke up
I was fine before you
And nothing’s going to start
Chorus
This is not a love song
No starry eyes in sight
No mention of a quiet walk
Or a moonlit summer night
No words about your tender ways
That fill my every thought
Don’t think this is a love song
‘Cause it’s not
Bridge
Yet I keep coming back to the sweet voice, the smile
And maybe, only maybe, if you’d stay a while…
Chorus
But this is not a love song
No starry eyes in sight
No mention of a quiet walk
Or a moonlit summer night
No words about your tender ways
That fill my every thought
Don’t think this is a love song
‘Cause it’s not
Repeat chorus
