I Don’t Want to Be in Love lyrics

[Verse 1]
My friends are all so well intentioned
They'd like to help me find somebody new
They've been so kind I find it hard to mention
That what I need the most is solitude

[Verse 2]
Give me a room with an ocean view
A stack of books I can muddle through
Long afternoons and nothing to do
And I will be fine

[Chorus]
I don't want to be in love with anyone right now
It's all that I can do to keep myself together somehow
Since you've gone I don't know where to go or what I ought to do
But I know that I don't want to be in love with anyone right now
Anyone but you

[Verse 3]
They say I need somebody nеar me
For sympathy and human touch
Oh, I know they may be right in thеory
But if it wasn't you it wouldn't mean that much

[Verse 4]
Give me the moon on an open road
Something soft on the radio
I'll follow the lines wherever they go
And I will be fine
[Chorus]
And I don't want to be in love with anyone right now
It's all that I can do to keep myself together somehow
Since you've gone I don't know where to go or what I ought to do
But I know that I don't want to be in love with anyone right now
Anyone but you
Anyone but you
