Another Love Song

If I say that I love you, will you just leave me alone?
I don't know what more I can do
To keep you happy, to call my own

If I said that I hate you, would you just sink like a stone?
Would you break out the champagne
To celebrate the breaking of another backbone?

If I said that I need you, would you remind me I don't?
Would you climb down inside me?
Help bail water from this leaking boat

If I say that I'm leavin, all my courage in a gutless note
Oh man that way would be easy
With all those big words stuck in my throat

So unmask sign and spic and span, sing a song I'll understand
Give me something to believe
Another love song is the last thing we need

We all need

If I say that I love you, would you just leave me alone?
