Text: Cowboy Troy. If You Don't Wanna Love Me.
(feat. Sarah Buxton)
If you don't wanna love me, then I'll find somebody else who will;
Find another kinda thrill:
Find another way to fill this loneliness.
If you don't wanna love me, I'll find somebody else who will;
Find another kinda thrill:
Find another way to fill this loneliness.
A married couple with kids and a family pet:
He takes for granted that it's all good an' things are set.
But she feels no passion in the romance:
It's been a year since they had their last slow dance.
Even worse: her husband treats her like an ornament.
Each week, the kids have a tournament:
A team meetin', or somewhere they gotta be.
But her heart's screamin': "Hey, what about me?"
Unbeknownst, another hound is in the chicken coop,
And he's makin' moves, like a player, to the hoop.
She met him at the gym, or was it at the grocery?
It doesn't matter 'cause you know where it's gonna be.
'Cause last year, her mister got caught cheatin',
So she figures that this gonna make 'em even.
He thought she'd wait, like all the time before,
Till he found the note she left for him, hangin' on the door.
It read:
If you don't wanna love me, then I'll find somebody else who will;
(Find somebody else who will.)
Find another kinda thrill:
Find another way to fill this loneliness.
If you don't wanna love me, I'll find somebody else who will;
(I'll find somebody else who will.)
Find another kinda thrill:
Find another way to fill this loneliness.
She's sixteen callin' home to her Momma.
Afraid to talk 'cause she's scared of all the noise an' drama.
She's been gone for a week-and-a-half.
All she wants is somethin' to eat and a nap.
'Cause she's a runaway. (Runaway, runaway.)
Sleepin' under bridges an' sleepin' in alleyways,
Afraid to go to the shelter, so at night she prays,
That, hopefully, she's gonna see some better days.
Meanwhile, Mom an' Dad are really frantic:
When they saw her clothes were gone, you know, they really panicked.
Thoughts in their minds: "Did she run to the border?"
Or even worse: "Will she be a case on Law And Order?"
The silence in her room screams of not feelin' wanted;
Of not being good enough: it almost seems haunted.
All her pain soon will be known,
When she leaves her Mom an' Dad a message after the tone:
It says:
If you don't wanna love me, then I'll find somebody else who will;
(I'll find somebody else who will.)
Find another kinda thrill:
Find another way to fill this loneliness.
If you don't wanna love me, I'll find somebody else who will;
(I'll find somebody else who will.)
Find another kinda thrill:
Find another way to fill this loneliness.
If you really wanna know me,
I guess you better show me,
'Cause the "really" is a phoney:
Just love me or leave me alone.
If you don't wanna love me, then I'll find somebody else who will;
(I'll find somebody else who will.)
Find another kinda thrill:
Find another way to fill this loneliness.
If you don't wanna love me, I'll find somebody else who will;
(I'll find somebody else who will.)
Find another kinda thrill:
Find another way to fill this loneliness.
Ahhh,
yeah.
Ah ha.
This loneliness,
Ooh, whoa, yeah.
Uh hu.
I'm gonna find another kinda thrill.
If you don't want to love me:
If you don't wanna love me,
I'll find somebody else who will
