But She's Not My Lover
The Jet Age of Tomorrow Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

And you've always made me smile
Every second I spend with you
It's so worth the while
Because you, bring me JOY
But you're not my lover
No! No! No! Because you, bring me joy
But you're not my lover
I will lose all control
When I see you call my phone





What's crazy is we're not committed
But I do want you as my own
