I'm Not In Love
Orleya Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm not in love
So don't forget it
It's just a silly phase I'm going through
And just because
I call you up
Don't get me wrong, don't think you've got it made
I'm not in love, no no, it's because
I like to see you
But then again
That doesn't mean you mean that much to me
So if I call you
Don't make a fuss
Don't tell your friends about the two of us
I'm not in love, no no, it's because
I keep your picture
Upon the wall
It hides a nasty stain that's lying there
So don't you ask me
To give it back
I know you know it doesn't mean that much to me
I'm not in love, no no, it's because
Ooh you'll wait a long time for me
Ooh you'll wait a long time
Ooh you'll wait a long time for me
Ooh you'll wait a long time
I'm not in love
So don't forget it
It's just a silly phase I'm going through
And just because I call you up
Don't get me wrong, don't think you've got it made
I'm not in love
I'm not in love

Overall Meaning

Orleya's song "I'm Not In Love" is a very deep and emotional song featuring lyrics that express the turmoil of being in a relationship that is not meaningful, but still having feelings for the other person. The singer keeps reiterating that she is not in love with the person she is addressing, and that it is just a silly phase she is going through. She highlights the fact that just because she calls up the person, it does not mean that they have any special significance in her life. She reflects the concept that people can have relationships without it necessarily being an emotional attachment. She implores the person not to tell anyone about the relationship and not to make a fuss about it.


The chorus, "Ooh you'll wait a long time for me", emphasizes that even if the person is holding out hope for something more, it may never happen because the singer simply does not feel the same way. The repetition of this line throughout the song adds to the sense of desperation and longing.


Overall the lyrics speak to a sense of emotional unavailability and wanting to keep someone at arm's length. Despite the apparent detachment of the singer, feelings run deep and it's clear that the situation is causing pain for both parties. The conflicting emotions portrayed in the song add to its depth and emotional power.
