"Not a Love Song" is a pop song performed by Ross Lynch as Austin Moon. It was first sung in the episode "Secrets & Songbooks," It was most likely written by Ally in the show, with the help of Austin, though it is not told. Austin also sang the acoustic version of this in "MyTAB & My Pet". The song seems to perfectly balance Austin and Ally's friendship. It was originally written and produced by Jeannie Lurie, Aris Archontis, and Chen Neeman.
Lyrics[]
You're always on my mind
I think about you all the time
Um...no
Let's not talk about it,
Drama - we can live without it
Catch a wave if we're bored
There's a clock we'll ignore
Find a way around it
Hey, girl, I can tell it's something
Even when you say it's nothing
When you're playing with your hair
Like you just don't care
It's a tell, you're bluffing
Now please don't take this the wrong way
I love the things you do
It's how you do the things you love
But it's not a love song
Not a love song
I love the way you get me
But correct me if I'm wrong
This is not a love song
Not a love song
I love that you bought the tickets (Uh-huh)
And you don’t make me watch a chick flick
We’ve come so far,
Being just the way we are
If it’s not broke, don’t fix it
I can’t guess the meaning,
When you don’t say what you’re feeling
If you got a broken heart,
You can punch me in the arm
Now that’s what you needed (That's just what you needed)
Don't take this the wrong way (Nope)
I love the things you do
It's how you do the things you love
But it's not a love song
Not a love song
I love the way you get me,
But correct me if I'm wrong
This is not a love song
Not a love song
I don’t speak girl (Like, hey girl!)
I don’t quite understand a manicure
But you’re
The only friend I’d take a shower for (And I would really do love you)
And I, would hold your bags
When you go shopping
What a guy (What a guy, what a guy, what a guy)
What a guy
I love the things you do
It's how you do the things you love
The way you say you'd, put me through it
I guess I always knew it (I always knew)
I love the way you get me,
But correct me if I'm wrong
This is not a love song (not a love song)
Not a love song (I know it's not a love song)
I love the things you do
It's how you do the things you love
But it's not a love song (No, definitely not a love song)
Not a love song
I love the way you get me
But correct me if I'm wrong
This is not a love song (It's not a love song)
Not a love song
This is not a love song (It's not a love song)
Not a love song
This is not a love song (It's not a love song)
Not a love song
