If This Is What It Means

She only has to call you up
And you're scratching at her door
She hangs you up and lets you down
But you still come back for more

And things are getting out of hand
She spends your money and she wrecks your plans
If she's the one that you need
Then I just don't understand

If this is what it means to be in love
Then it's something I want no part of
I'd rather be alone
Me and my foolish dreams
If this is what it means to be in love

She doesn't think a lot of you
But she's everything in your eyes
You think she's under your control
But it's you who's hypnotized

You were someone I could look up to
But now I look at what she's done to you
A little less of a man
A little more of a fool

If this is what it means to be in love
Then it's something I want no part of
I'd rather be alone
Me and my foolish dreams
If this is what it means to be in love

I don't wanna be cryin'
Like everybody I know
But I don't wanna be lonely
With nowhere to go, oh
I need someone to stay
Through the rise and the fall, oh
Or I'd rather have no one at all

If this is what it means to be in love
Then it's something I want no part of
I'd rather be alone
Me and my foolish dreams

If this is what it means to be in love, oh
Then it's something I want no part of
If this is what it means to be in love

Oh, if this is what it means to be in love
If this is what it means
