Don't Call It Love - Eliza Doolittle

I’ve got a pocket but it won’t be full in a long time

I got a locket but the photos missing

'Cause nobody’s listening at all

I get my hopes up for love, what I think is love

And when it blows up

I jump on the bandwagon with all the pretenders

…Wait a second

You can call it aches and pains and games

The fire and the rain you can’t explain

So you can call it anything, call it what you like

But don’t call it love when it’s really life

I’m not saying I don’t believe in fairies

I’ve seen them fly around a couple times

But I don’t like to labels things like jars of jam

'Cause when I get to taste these things

Its never what I planned

And I won’t be a pretender

…Wait a second

You can call it aches and pains and games

The fire and the rain, you can’t explain

So you can call it anything, call it what you like

But don’t call it love when it’s really life

I don’t wanna be rude to myself, stop leading me on

Rude to myself, if I don’t try to be right, can’t be wrong

I just wanna be true to myself and take the day as it comes

True to myself, I know I’m not the only one

I know I’m not the only one

You can call it aches and pains and games

The fire and the rain, you can’t explain

So you can call it anything, call it what you like

But don’t call it love when it’s really life

Don’t call it love when it’s really life
