The first time we met, I was reading a novel 
You were three seats away, craning your neck to see 
What the title was 
Next thing I know, you cornered 3rd Street 
We’re standing there, you said you loved me 
What’s that about? 

You’re moving too fast, I only just met you 
You’re too young for me, and girl I just can’t pretend 
No, I can’t 
The generation gap will probably get in your way— 
Impossible! How can you think 
Love will find a way? 

Don’t say you love me 
You don’t know the meaning, 
The reasons why you’re claiming 
I should give you my time 
Don’t get your hopes up 
You know this isn’t real love 
Such things don’t happen in real life 
Who believes in “love at first sight”? 
There’s just no way you love me 

Re-reading your texts to know where we stand 
And I’m making sure I don’t let you closer than where you’ve been 
I’ll make it clear, I’m not gonna say it twice 
Take it slow, you keep pushing me 
You’re pushing me away 

Don’t say you love me 
You don’t know the meaning, 
The reasons why you’re claiming 
I should give you my time 
Don’t get your hopes up 
You know this isn’t real love 
Such things don’t happen in real life 
Who believes in “love at first sight”? 
There’s just no way you love me 

Ooooh, na, na, na, na, na, Nepeta 
Na, na, na, na, na, Nepeta 
Ooooh, na, na, na, na, na, na, Nepeta 
Na, na, na, na, na, na, Nepeta 

Don’t say you love me 
You don’t know the real me, baby… 

Don’t say you love me 
You don’t know the meaning, 
The reasons why you’re claiming 
I should give you my time 
Don’t get your hopes up 
You know this isn’t real love 
Such things don’t happen in real life 
Who believes in “love at first sight”? 
There’s just no way you love me 

Don’t say you love me 
You don’t know the meaning, 
The reasons why you’re claiming 
I should give you my time 
Don’t get your hopes up 
You know this isn’t real love 
Such things don’t happen in real life 
Who believes in “love at first sight”? 
There’s just no way you love me
