When my lady passes me by I lose the love I thought I had in mind Send no flowers or words of regret Cause I'm not the loving kind Day by day I was hoping you'd be The kind of love that would give me peace of mind But it may just have passed me by Cause I'm not the loving kind I'm not the loving kind Cause I'm not the loving kind You don't believe it, yes it must be true How I lost all the love I had in you Send me please no words of regret Cause I'm not the loving kind Cause I'm not the loving kind
