It’s Not You
Words by Robert Smith
You wear your smile
Like it was going out of fashion
Dress to inflame
But douse any ideas of passion
You carry your love in a trinket
Hanging round your throat
Always inviting
Always exciting
But I must not take off my coat
Well I’m tired of hanging around
I want someone new
I’m not sure who I’ve got in mind
But I know
It’s not you
You ask me questions
That I never wanted to hear
I am the only one
Just until you finish this year
I would murder you
If I had an alibi
Here in my hand
But you just laugh
Because you don’t understand
That I’m tired of hanging around
I want somebody new
I’m not sure
Who I’ve got in mind
But I know that it’s not you
It’s not you
It’s not you
It’s not you
