I WISH I WEREN'T IN LOVE
(Paul Simon)

Paul Simon (as Jerry Landis) - 1961


I've got a problem
The girl I love doesn't love me at all
In fact she won't even answer my call
I wish I weren't in love

I can't do my homework
I write her name on my notebook all night
The way she treats me, it just isn't right
I wish I weren't in love

What can I do, what can I say
How can I make her stop, hurting me this way
I'm so unhappy, you just don't know
Oh, how I love that girl
Guess I'm the loneliest boy in this world
I wish I weren't in love
