I Don't Really Love You Anymore

The Magnetic Fields

True, I'd give my right arm
To keep you safe from harm
And true, for you, I'd move to Ecuador
And I'd keep a little farm
Chop wood to keep you warm
But I don't really love you anymore

I don't have to love you now if I don't wish to
I won't see you anyhow if that's an issue
Because I am a gentleman
Think of me as just your fan
Who remembers every dress you ever wore.
Just the bad comedian
Your new boyfriend's better than
'Cos I don't really love you anymore.

There'll be someday when your eyes do not enthrall me,
I'll be numb but realize you'll never call me.

'Cause I've read your horoscope
And now I've given up all hope
So I don't really love you anymore
'Cause I've read your horoscope
And now I've given up all hope
So I don't really love you anymore

    General CommentWhat a sarcastic song. The title and lyrics are such a lie, and you can tell that even though the music is so upbeat, he's just lying to himself and trying to make himself believe that he doesn't really love a certain girl anymore when he obviously does. And I certainly can relate to this song, though it's with a guy and not a girl.

    haha, it's sad I relate to those lines, but I do.

    I've listened to this song so many times, it's ridiculous. definitely one of my favorites from this album! i love how playful it is, and the way it's so obvious that the title is a lie. =P

    General CommentThis song has a lot in common with "You and Me and the Moon", musically.
