Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

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, 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

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "I Love to Love" by Blue Chips vs Tina Charles are an example of a situation where the singer of the song is not completely into the person they are talking to despite the repetitive claims by the other person that they are in love with them. The lyrics clearly state that the singer is not in love, and it is just a phase they are going through. The person in the song is seemingly enjoying the attention they receive from the other person but judging from the lyrics, it is not particularly because they have any romantic feelings towards them. They caution the other person not to read too much into their actions, such as calling them up or keeping their picture on the wall, as it doesn't necessarily mean they have any deep feelings for them.

The singer's insistence that they are not in love represents their attempt at defining their personal boundaries and pushing back against unrealistic expectations. The lyrics are reflective of the complicated feelings that arise in forming romantic relationships, especially when one person is into the other person more than the other person is into them. It's an uneasy dance between two people where everyone is trying to figure out what they want, and these lyrics perfectly capture that dynamic.
