I'm Not In Love
Will to Power Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
The lyrics to Will to Power's song I'm Not in Love tell a story of a person who is exploring their own feelings towards someone they have been seeing. The singer is clear in saying that they are not in love, and that their actions should not be taken as a sign of anything more. Despite this clarity, the singer keeps the picture of this person on the wall, but only as a way to cover up a stain. This emphasizes the idea that the singer is not completely invested in the relationship, and that it may even be a bit superficial.
The repetition of "I'm not in love" throughout the song seems to almost be an attempt by the singer to convince themselves of this fact. The use of phrases like "just a silly phase" and "doesn't mean that much to me" show a lack of conviction when it comes to the relationship. The singer also warns the other person not to make a fuss or tell their friends about the two of them, reinforcing the idea that they want to keep things casual.
In short, the lyrics to I'm Not in Love depict a person who is unsure about their feelings for someone else, and is being upfront about this with the other person. They enjoy spending time together, but don't want to be seen as tied down to anything more. It's a song about wanting to keep things simple, even if the other person wants more.

So don't you ask me
Please don't request
To give it back
That I return the picture to you
I know you know it doesn't mean that much to me
I understand that you're aware the picture is not sentimental to me

Don't expect me to feel differently anytime soon
Ooh you'll wait a long time
It will take a while for you to change my feelings
I'm not in love
Once again, I am not in love with you

The Mighty Mutt
I agree. The other just seems... not exactly bland.. but lacking the energy i guess
Don Miles
@The Mighty MuttI think you said it perfectly! 👌 There is just an 'energy' that makes it easy to just get lost in this version, compared to the other ones!
