THE CURE LYRICS - It's Not You

"It's Not You"



You wear your smile

Like it was going out of fashion

Dress to inflame

But douse any ideas of passion

You carry your love in a trinket

Hanging round your throat

Always inviting

Always exciting

But I must not take off my coat



Well I'm tired of hanging around

I want somebody new

I'm not sure who I've got in mind

But I know

That it's not you

That it's not you



You ask me questions

That I never wanted to hear

I am the only one

Just until you finish this year

I would murder you

If I had the alibi

Here in my hand

And you just laugh

'cause you don't understand



That I'm tired of hanging around

I want somebody new

I'm not sure

Who I've got in mind

But I know that it's not you

It's not you

It's not you

It's not you

It's not you

It's not you

No it's not you

That it's not you

It's not you

It's not you
