Chris Standring 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..
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 Chris Standring's song "I'm Not In Love" deal with the complex emotions of a man who is trying to communicate to a woman that he is not in love with her, despite the fact that he calls her and likes to see her. He repeats the phrase, "I'm not in love" throughout the song, which serves as a reminder that he is not emotionally invested in this relationship. The line, "And just because I call you up, don't get me wrong, don't think you've got it made," highlights the singer's hesitation to lead the woman on or give her false hope. He seems to be trying to manage the woman's expectations and avoid a potential heartbreak.
The line, "I keep your picture upon the wall, it hides a nasty stain that's lying there," is a powerful metaphor that suggests the singer is using the picture as a cover-up for something unpleasant. This could symbolize his lack of genuine feelings for the woman, and how he is trying to hide this from her by pretending to feel an emotional connection. The phrase, "Ooh you'll wait a long time for me," repeated throughout the song, reinforces the idea that the singer is not willing to invest in a serious relationship with this woman.
Overall, the lyrics of "I'm Not In Love" convey the singer's mixed emotions and the complexity of their relationship. Despite his efforts to communicate his lack of interest, he seems unsure of his own feelings, and the repeated phrase, "I'm not in love," feels almost like a mantra designed to convince himself.

So don't you ask me

To give it back
To return it to you
I know you know it doesn't mean that much to me
I am aware that the photo does not hold significant emotional value to me

You will have to wait an extended period if you are waiting for me to develop romantic feelings for you
