Not in Love Lyrics

[Pre-Chorus: Robert Smith]
'Cause it's cold outside
When you coming home?
'Cause it's hot inside
Isn't that enough?


[Chorus: Robert Smith]
I'm not in love
I'm not in love
I'm not in love
I'm not in love
I'm not in love
I'm not in love
I'm not in love
I'm not in love

[Bridge: Ethan Kath]
(Now we can't be friends)
(Fascination ends)
(Here we go again, oh-oh-oh)
('Cause it's cold outside)
(When you coming home?)
('Cause it's hot inside)
(Isn't that enough?)

[Chorus: Robert Smith]
I'm not in love
I'm not in love
I'm not in love
I'm not in love
[Outro: Robert Smith]
We are not in love
We are not in love
We are not in love
We are not in love
We are not in love

Genius Annotation

Not In Love is a cover of Toronto band Platinum Blonde’s song of the same name, with slight alterations to the lyrics.

The original album version featured pitch-shifted vocals by Ethan Kath, but they were was replaced on later versions of the album with vocals by Robert Smith of the British band The Cure.

At the time of the recording, Crystal Castles were friends with Mark Holmes, lead singer and bassist of the Platinum Blondes.

The song describes the evolution of an on-and-off relationship and the occasional hopes of the narrator that their partner may change their mind and come back to them while claiming at the same time that they are not in love, contradicting themselves in a way.
