No, Not Much

About No, Not Much

"No, Not Much" is a popular song published in 1955. The music was written by Robert Allen, the lyrics by Al Stillman. The song is an ironic protestation of love, in which the lover rhetorically denies his devotion but then continually undercuts and enfeebles the denial until the exact opposite is conveyed. It was one of a large number of Stillman-Allen compositions that were recorded by The Four Lads. The recording by The Four Lads was released by Columbia Records as catalog number 40629. It first reached the Billboard magazine charts on January 28, 1956. On the Disk Jockey chart it peaked at #2; on the Best Seller chart, at #4; on the Juke Box chart, at #4; on the composite chart of the top 100 songs, it reached #3. It became a gold record. Bing Crosby recorded the song in 1956 for use on his radio show and it was subsequently included in the box set The Bing Crosby CBS Radio Recordings (1954-56) issued by Mosaic Records (catalog MD7-245) in 2009. The song was subsequently recorded by The Vogues and The Smoke Ring, both of whom charted their versions in 1969. In all of the versions, the first two lines of the second verse are omitted and replaced by an instrumental. more »

I don't want my arms around you, no, not much
I don't bless the day I found you, no, not much
I don't need you like the stars don't need the sky
I won't love you longer than the day I die

You don't please me when you squeeze me, no, not much
My heads the lightest from your very slightest touch
Baby, if you ever go, could I take it maybe so
Oh, but would I like it, no, not much

Like a ten cent soda doesn't cost a dime
I don't want you near me only all time

You don't thrill me when you hold me, no, not much
My brain gets hazy from your cool and crazy touch
Baby, if you ever go, could I take it maybe so
Oh, but would I like it, no, not much
No, not much
