verse 1
steadfast, standing behind protective glass
many prospective better halves he let 'em pass
freely, easy, knee deep in a sea of ice
feet frozen, might seem could if
you judge from his shoulder but, if ever close enough
to lay a hand understand from touch just
how warm his blood is, plus the heart it runs through
justifies why shielding it’s a must do
in his youth, he used to be mad clumsy
tumbling for chicks that marched to erratic drum beats
attempts to break falls would scuff sleeves
shredding his heart was hard to keep in one piece
taking faith leaps resulted scrapped knees
and wading in manure 'bout ye deep
it's left him compelled to keep, his greatest wealth discreet
so saving all of his love for himself selfishly like
chorus
screw love, ain’t looking for no new love (x 4)
sorry kid don’t he believe in fairy tales, ‘cause while it’s
been sold very well, story ends in a scary fail
jail pales in comparison, all the harassment
cash spent and embarrassment
when the marriage ends in a somber departure
perishing thoughts of a heart targeting archer
finds it laughable, change is natural
thinking love wont is a brain irrational
thus only after no string attachments, able to roam
at own whims without a phone to track him
no kids and the ticking to have them is absent
incentive to settle he's lacks it
so suited best for brevity, temporary companionship
'til the woman inevitably abandons him
quick pit stop soon a memory distant 'cause they

chorus
screw love, ain't looking for no new love (x 7)
being some sucker's something that he don't approve of
verse 3

and his style of living would suggest that he isn’t
stressed into a pretzel over it
has more notable holes to fix and dough to get
says success of the modern relationship hinges
mostly on having the temperament to give in
appease, endure and sacrifice, the prize hasn't
matched the price so he’s past the hype
spared a few potential exes from an
i told you so, falling for that okey doke
of a good dude disposition, will throw a wrench
to influence suspicion, a saboteur who's
rewarded with the privilege of living sequestered
a cat lady equivalent swimming in records but
he’d rather that than longing for fools rapture
staring at walls on some LL Cool Jasper so
chorus
verse 4
baby take heed, you ain’t gotta say please
can walk right on by, keeping your same speed
'cause he's keeping his heart on safety
no if ands or maybes
can call him crazy, afraid or lazy
a shame or gay whatever helps you stay sleep
'cause y'all may need to believe we're completed by
a main squeeze, but that ain't he, resolved to stay free he’s like
chorus
screw love, ain’t looking for no new love (x 7)
he'd rather have blue nuts than be boo'd up...
