N.O.T
Incognito Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

No this is not an ordinary thing to me
It?s scandalous to see how much you?ve changed
Where is the friend? The one that I once used to know
You?re talking to me crazy
As though you never knew me

I guess it?s time to let you know
That I have got to let you go

No this is not
The lovin? that I use to know
This is not the feelin? that I couldn?t let go
No this is not
The lovin? that I use to know
This is not the feelin? that I couldn?t let go

N.O.T. (Repeat 4 times)

No ordinary thing
In my life
(Repeat)

Well bless my soul, what kind of a fool d?you take me for
I gave you everything that love can bring
You spun me round until my world came tumblin? down
I know this double dealin?
I something I can do without





I guess it?s time to let you know
Yes I think that you should go
