Nobody's In Love This Year Lyrics - Zevon Warren

written by Warren Zevon 1989 Zevon Music Inc. BMI 

We keep walking away for no reason at all 

And no one says a word 

We were always so busy protecting ourselves 

We never would have heard 

And the rate of attrition for lovers like us 

Is steadily on the rise 

Nobody's in love this year 

Not even you and I 

Due to lack of commitment on both of our parts 

We're going our separate ways 

This show of indifference is breaking our hearts 

It's making us crazy, yeah 

You sit back and wait for your love to accrue 

You'll be waiting a long, long time 

Nobody's in love this year 

Not even you and I 

I don't want to be Mr. Vulnerable 

I don't want to get hurt 

I don't want to be Mr. Vulnerable 

I don't want to be the one who gets left behind 

We keep walking away for no reason at all 

For the sake of being free 

No one's invested enough of themselves 

To yield to maturity 

And the rate of attrition for lovers like us 

Is steadily on the rise 

Nobody's in love this year 

Nobody wants to try 

Nobody's in love this year 

Not even you and I 

I don't want to be Mr. Vulnerable 

I don't want to get hurt 

I don't want to be Mr. Vulnerable 

I don't want to be the one who gets left behind
