Not Like That - Wilkes

Just off 65

First dirt road on the right

I was 109

She was 105

I was just 14

Never thought I’d be

Lost for words for the girl

Who use to push me in the creek

But I got butterflies

On that Honda Rebel bike

When she said I’m gonna have to hold you tight

Then words came fallin' out

And I can’t even tell you

How long I must’ve rambled on

Things like «maybe,» «more than friends,»

And «baby you don’t pretend you don’t feel it too

If there’s a chance you do.»

Before I threw my whole heart in

She cut me off real fast and said

«I love you darlin'

Just not like that»

A decade had passed

And she still made me laugh

The feelin' hadn’t left

And I knew I’d regret

If I kept it inside

And kept livin' a lie

I had to try one more time

Cuz she might’ve changed her mind

Then words came fallin' out

And I can’t even tell you

How long I must’ve rambled on

Things like «maybe,» «more than friends,»

And «baby you don’t pretend you don’t feel it too

If there’s a chance you do.»

Before I threw my whole heart in

She cut me off real fast and said

«I love you darlin'

Just not like that»

On my weddin' day

She said she had said sumthin' to say

She knew it had to be too late

But had to say it anyway

Then words came fallin' out

And I can’t even tell you

How long she must’ve rambled on

Things like «maybe,» «more than friends,»

And «please boy don’t pretend you don’t feel it too

If there’s any chance that you still do»

Before she threw her whole heart in

I cut her off real fast and said

«I'll always love you darlin'

Just not like that»
