《The Name Of This Thing Is Not Love》歌词

[00:00:00] The Name Of This Thing Is Not Love - Elvis Costello/The Imposters

[00:00:00] Written by：Elvis Costello

[00:00:00] You naver

[00:00:00] I just cannot kill

[00:00:02] But the name of this thing is not love

[00:00:07] And I can't take a potion and

[00:00:09] I won't take a pill

[00:00:11] So it tortures me still

[00:00:13] But the name of this thing is not love

[00:00:17] Then you start entertaining such a terrible thought

[00:00:22] Life is so very short

[00:00:24] And the name of this thing is not love

[00:00:28] There's a bruise on her arm

[00:00:30] And some blood on the floor

[00:00:33] But the name of this thing is not love

[00:00:37] And they're taunting some girl

[00:00:39] That they claim to adore

[00:00:41] She can't take anymore

[00:00:44] But the name of this thing is not love

[00:00:48] Who in the world do you think that you are

[00:00:52] That you pushed me this far

[00:00:54] But the name of this thing is not love

[00:01:03] The name of this thing is not love

[00:01:12] The name of this thing is not love

[00:01:16] He thinks of her still

[00:01:18] You'd never guess

[00:01:21] He's trying so to forget her

[00:01:25] The occasional moments that he'll always bless

[00:01:29] Watching her dress

[00:01:32] For worse or better

[00:01:38] He watched her pick over her broken playthings

[00:01:42] What played on his mind is not love

[00:01:47] The cast aside tokens and discarded rings

[00:01:51] Over one of his flings

[00:01:53] But the name of this thing is not love

[00:01:58] Then he threw something down

[00:02:00] In the wild rushing river

[00:02:02] And won't ever recover

[00:02:04] But the name of this thing is not love

[00:02:08] Then you start out pretending that you're so very tough

[00:02:13] Life is not short enough

[00:02:15] But the name of this thing is not love

[00:02:24] The name of this thing is not love

[00:02:33] The name of this thing is not love

[00:02:41] The name of this thing is not love
