Every time I'm in my car
Or in my bed or in a bar
I strum your name on my guitar
I'm trying to see it
Better than they have before
The perfect rhymes and metaphors
Leave nothing on the cutting floor
I'd never make it

If I had to say it in three minutes
I'd be doing you a great disservice
Every line would have you all up in it
Even then I'd only scratch the surface

This ain't just a love song
Yet I know you want one
This is more a lesson, obsession
Not an old three chord progression
It's deep and real and dangerous
It's more than like, it's more than lust
Ain't no way that this is just a love song, oh-oh
This ain't just a love song, oh-oh

Even when it's number one
The tip of everybody's tongue
Know that it ain't ever done
I'm still writing
Sexy, sweet forever words
A heartbeat rhythm never heard
One more chorus, one more verse
I keep trying

To make them see you just the way I see you
The feeling that I'm feeling when it's just us
It could be an all-time platinum classic
But baby, it would never do you justice

This ain't just a love song
Yeah, I know you want one
This is more a lesson, obsession
Not an old three chord progression
It's deep and real and dangerous
It's more than like, it's more than lust
There ain't no way that this is just a love song

Blow out every speaker on the block
I wanna turn you up and turn you on
Blow out every speaker on the block
Maybe I won't ever turn it off

Yeah, this ain't just a love song
Yet I know you want one
This is more a lesson, obsession
Not an old three chord progression
It's deep and real and dangerous
It's more than like, it's more than lust
There ain't no way that this is just a love song, oh-oh
This ain't just a love song
Not just another love song
No no no, no no no
