No More I Love Yous - The Lover Speaks

I have uploaded this directly from my original 1986 CD entitled The Lover Speaks - these are the lyrics as they appear in the CD booklet. Annie Lennox later covered this song to high acclaim but I prefer the original. I am planning to upload other tracks from the album soon. Hope you enjoy this lost treasure!

No More I Love Yous

I used to be lunatic from your precious face
I used to be woebegone and so restless nights
My aching heart would bleed for you to see
Oh but now.....
I don't catch myself bouncing home
Whistling buttonhole tunes to make me cry

No more 'I love yous'
A language is leaving me
No more 'I love yous'
A language is leaving me exiled
No more 'I love yous'
Changes are shifting me outside the words

(The lover speaks about the monsters)
I used have demons in my room at night
Desire, despair, desire, so many monsters
Oh but now.....
I don't catch myself bouncing home
Whistling buttonhole tunes to make cry

No more 'I love yous'
A language is leaving me
No more 'I love yous'
A language is leaving me exiled
No more 'I love yous'
Changes are shifting me outside the words

No more 'I love yous'
A language is leaving me
