Gonna get me a sewing machine
Sew you a shirt of black
Do not love across the front
And all across the back
To remind me that you're not the lovin kind
To remind me that you're not the lovin kind
Gonna get me a ribbon honey, honey
Day glow red
Tie it around my finger baby
Or maybe around my bed
To remind me that you're not the lovin kind
To remind me that you're not the lovin kind
I think I've learned your secret
To keep from getting burned
Love for you is a matter of no deposit and no return
Yeah uh-I know you're not the lovin kind
Oh you're so heavy on my mind
Rocks in my pillow
You're putting rocks & blocks & boulders
I gotta get me a do not love sign honey
And hang it around your shoulders
To remind me that you're not the lovin kind
To remind me you're so heavy on my mind
