Not A Love Song
Ross Lynch Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You're always on my mind
I think about you all the time
Um, no

Let's not talk about it
Drama, we can live without it
Catch a wave if we're bored
There's a clock we'll ignore
Find a way around it

Hey girl, I can tell there's something
Even when you say it's nothing
When you're playing with your hair
Like you just don't care
It's a tell you're bluffing

Now please don't take this the wrong way

I love the things you do
It's how you do the things you love
Well it's not a love song, not a love song

I love the way you get me
But correct me
If I'm wrong
This is not a love song, not a love song

I love that you bought a ticket
And you don't make me watch a chick flick
We've come so far
Being just the way we are
If it's not broke, don't fix it

I can't guess the meaning
When you don't say what you're feeling
If you got a broken heart,
You can punch me in the arm
Now that's what you're needing (that's what you're needing)
Don't take this the wrong way (no)

I love the things you do
It's how you do the things you love
Well it's not a love song, not a love song

I love the way you get me
But correct me
If I'm wrong
This is not a love song, not a love song

I don't speak girl
Like "Hey girl!"
I don't quite understand a manicure
But you're the only friend I'd take a shower for
(And I really do love you) would hold your bags when you go shopping
What a guy!
What a guy!

I love the things you do
It's how you do the things you love
The way you sing it,
Put me through it
I guess I always knew it (I always knew)

I love the way you get me
But correct me
If I'm wrong
This is not a love song (not a love song)
Not a love song (I know it's not a love song)

I love the things you do
It's how you do the things you love
But it's not a love song (no, definitely not a love song)
Not a love song

I love the way you get me
But correct me,
If I'm wrong
This is not a love song (it's not a love song)
Not a love song
This is not a love song (it's not a love song)
Not a love song




This is not a love song (it's not a love song)
Not a love song

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Ross Lynch's song "Not a Love Song" are about a guy expressing his affection for a girl, but also clarifying that it is not necessarily romantic or that he wants to be in a relationship with her. He talks about how he thinks of her all the time and notices her little gestures, including when she plays with her hair. However, he is not interested in drama and wants to maintain their current status quo as friends.


The chorus of the song repeats that he loves the things she does, but that this is not a love song. He appreciates their friendship, how they can be themselves around each other, and how they don't feel the need to conform to traditional gender stereotypes (he mentions not understanding manicures but being willing to take a shower for her). He also acknowledges that he doesn't always understand what she's feeling, but he's there for her nonetheless.


Overall, "Not a Love Song" is a catchy, upbeat song about appreciating the people in our lives and being honest about our feelings without necessarily wanting to take things to the next level romantically.

You're the only one who could convince me to go out of my comfort zone


And I really do love you
I truly care for you


Would hold your bags when you go shopping
I'd assist you with your things when you go shopping


What a guy!
I'm a great friend


The way you sing it,
The passion you convey when singing


Put me through it
It creates an emotional experience for me

This is not a love song


This is not a love song (it's not a love song)
