Don't Let It Be Love Lyrics

I was out on the front line, doin' just fine.
Put it all behind me
'til I cam across a letter from an old friend,
Askin' "How you been?"
Stopped me dead in my tracks
And shot me right back there to '02
And it was me and you
What am I supposed to say?
I hope I don't fall head over heals
Cause I know how it's gonna feel.
And I don't think I could live through you again.

[Chorus:]
So don't don't don't
Let it be love love love
Because it hurts a lot, like it or not.
If it comes down to love or money,
It won't be love love love
It won't be love love love.
And I know I should know better.
Man, I hate this stuff. Don't let it be love.

Let's think in the front line.
I'm on the drop line.
So fill me in, bash me over the head.
Wish I was dead. Time heals everything,
Time heals everything.
At least that's what I've read.
Here we go again. We're head over heals
And I know how it's gonna feel.
When it crashes and it burns
It'll be too much. So

[Chorus]

And if I ever hear that song again
I just might kill someone.
Not literally
But the thought has crossed my mind.

So don't don't don't
Let it be love love love
I'm much better with
WHAM! BAM! Thank you Ma'am

[Chorus]

I was out on the front line, doin' just fine. Put it all behind me 'til I came across a letter from an old friend, Askin' "How you been?" Stopped me dead in my tracks And shot me right back there to '02 And it was me and you What am I supposed to say? I hope I don't fall head over heals Cause I know how it's gonna feel. And I don't think I could live through you again (a guy gets a letter from his ex a couple years after they broke up. he was madly in love w/ this chick but she did something to ruin their relationship and hurt him really bad)

So don't don't don't Let it be love love love Because it hurts a lot, like it or not. If it comes down to love or money, It won't be love love love It won't be love love love. And I know I should know better. Man, I hate this stuff. Don't let it be love (the guy is sick of love. he's scared to get hurt again)

Let's think in the front line. I'm on the drop line. So fill me in, bash me over the head. Wish I was dead. Time heals everything, Time heals everything. At least that's what I've read. Here we go again. We're head over heals And I know how it's gonna feel. When it crashes and it burns It'll be too much. So (again he talks about how he's doesnt want to get involved w/ someone (that girl) again because he doesn't want to feel so shitty like he did before. also w/ the 'time heals everything' he probably still is hurt about his ex)

So don't don't don't Let it be love love love I'm much better with WHAM! BAM! Thank you Ma'am (the guy doesnt want to fall in love. he'd much rather have no-strings attached and no feelings involved so no one gets hurt)

So pretty much he doesn't want to be hurt again, and doesn't want to fall in love again. He would rather just have WHAM! BAM! Thank you Ma'am.
