Excuse me, but you're not my type
Not the one to make my heart ripe
You may be charming and quite bold
But in my eyes, you do not uphold
Your words flow like a river's stream
But they lack the depth of a dream
Your laughter echoes in the air
But it does not make my heart flare
I know you try, with all your might
But it just doesn't feel quite right
You may be the one others adore
But to me, you're just another bore
Excuse me, but you're not my type
Not the one to make my soul ignite
With every passing of the day
I realize, we're just not meant to stay
Your eyes shine like diamonds so bright
But they don't hold my gaze tight
Your touch may send shivers down my spine
But it doesn't make my heart align
I know you think that we could be
But darling, I have to disagree
You may be the one others seek
But to me, you're just another streak
Excuse me, but you're not my type
Not the one to make my passion hype
I know you want to sweep me off my feet
But my heart, you just can't seem to beat
Your kisses leave a lingering taste
But it fades away with haste
Your embrace may feel warm and true
But it's not enough to make me swoon for you
I know you think we could be more
But darling, I've already closed that door
You may be the one others admire
But to me, you're just another fire
Excuse me, but you're not my type
Not the one to make my spirits ripe
I know you want to be my knight
But I don't need saving tonight
Your promises sound so sweet
But they never seem to fully meet
Your love may be pure and sincere
But it's not what I want to hold dear
I know you think I'm just hesitating
But darling, this love, I'm just not anticipating
You may be the one others adore
But to me, you're just another chore
Excuse me, but you're not my type
Not the one to make my heart take flight
I know you think we could be great
But we're just not on the same page
Your presence may brighten up my day
But it's not enough for me to stay
Your love may be abundant and true
But it's not what I'm looking for in you
I know you think we could make it work
But darling, my heart just doesn't lurk
You may be the one others desire
But to me, you're just another liar
Excuse me, but you're not my type
Not the one to make my heart hype
I know you want to be with me
But my heart, you just can't seem to see
Your attempts may be brave and bold
But they don't fit into my mold
Your love may be strong and pure
But it's not what I'm looking for, I'm sure
I know you think I'm just playing games
But darling, my heart's already claimed
You may be the one others aspire
But to me, you're just not my type, my desire.
