I'm not in love It"s just some kind of thing I'm goin through Goin' through, goin' through And it's not infatuation Ain't nothin' goin' on between me and you Me and you, me and you But I dream about it every night, baby Wantin' you here with me Makin' love to me And oh [Chorus] I'm missin you like crazy Body and soul is achin' I'm out of control Missing you so I'm missing you Missing you I'm missing you Missing you I'm missing you I'm not in love, oh no no no And that's what I just keep tellin' myself Over and over again And I'm not the least bit amused by it baby Yet still I don't want to be with nobody else No no no And I dream about you all the time Touchin' and kissin' me And makin' love to me And oh [Chorus] God knows I'm tryin' to keep you out of my head I ain't tryin' to love no one I ain't tryin' to get hurt again, no But there's something that just gutts in my skin And all I know is I can't let go And that's the way it is [Chorus]
