We met at the club
My Carrie remix on
All the boys in harnesses who didn't recognize the song
You took me up
Up to Provincetown
Where for years the deviant boys have run around
'Cause love is not love
Our love is new
We're just two heartbreakers breakin' all the rules
Love is not love
Our love is real
And I'm nervous as hell to tell you how I feel
'Cause after all these years of runnin' 'round
It's nice to have somebody slow me down
'Cause love is not love
When we first made love
There weren't two of us, there were four
Two dirty boys in a candy store
And it hurts to want more
Love is not love
Our love is free
I let you be you and you let me be me
And we can wrestle on the bed
And when you pin me to the ground
But if I tell you how much I love you, boy
Will you stick around?
And you can lift me up and I can calm you down
I made a lot of noise but only you can hear me now
'Cause love is not love
This love is real
I hope you feel the same, 'cause this is how I feel
And I'm tired of being angry, baby, and I'm sick of being strong
And I know a lot of cynical assholes who will hate this song
'Cause it's an open heart, it's a second chance
It's finding your first love as a 40-year-old man
And we don't have to get married, babe, this is our romance
Just because we're gay doesn't mean we have to dance
'Cause love is not
Love is not
Love is not love
