I’m glued to my chair like a leaf on a tree
My eyes have fallen to the ground
My shoulders rolled forward like the wings of a bird
My mouth has fallen into a frown.
My ears are all but closed up
closed to the words you say.
I wish someone could change my mind
but then I ain’t in a wishing mood today.
I see that look in your eyes babe.
And I think I know what you’re thinking of.
But I ain’t in the mood for making love,
I ain’t in the mood for making love.
You say you like the way that I sing
and you say you like my shoes.
You ask me why I ain’t smiling today
and why good times are something I refuse.
Your feelings are shining like an overcoat
will you throw them aside when we reach the door?
Your words are walking with confidence
I think they’re walking a road that’s been walked before.
Could you change the way that I feel?
Chase away them black clouds I’m thinkin of?
I ain’t in the mood for making love.
I ain’t in the mood for making love.
I wasn’t built for one night, some tiny delight
I ain’t fuel for some small and flickering thing
I suck my senses way back into my mind
until your words have blurred into a ring.
I got one lonely drop of life
did you come to take that away?
Are you a cowboy a knight here to find you a wife
until she’s purple from the rope of your ignorance and pain?
If its a worm on a hook that you’re offering me
well, a hook well it ain’t what I’m dreaming of.
My mouth is watering, my stomach is howlin’
but I ain’t in the mood for making love.
I ain’t in the mood for making love.
Don’t waste your time, just move on down the line
I’ve got nothing to give and nothing to trade.
You could suck me dry it might get you high,
but then you’d just go back to feeling the same way.
I got one lonely drop of blood
and it looks like you need a river of love.
I ain’t the one to tide you over babe,
I ain’t in the mood for making love.
I ain’t in the mood for making love.
