Not a Love Song is a pop song performed by Ross Lynch as Austin Moon. It was first sung in the episode "Secrets & Songbooks," It was most likely written by Ally with the help of Austin, though it is not told. Austin also sang the acoustic version of this in "MyTAB & My Pet". The song seems to perfectly balance Austin and Ally's friendship. It was originally written and produced by Jeannie Lurie, Aris Archontis, and Chen Neeman.
This song is the 3rd track on the Austin & Ally Soundtrack.
Lyrics
Full Version
You're always on my mind
I think about you all the time
Um...no
Let's not talk about it,
Drama - we can live without it
Catch a wave if we're bored
There's a clock we'll ignore
Find a way around it
Hey, girl, I can tell it's something
Even when you say it's nothing
When you're playing with your hair
Like you just don't care
It's a tell, you're bluffing
Now please don't take this the wrong way
I love the things you do
It's how you do the things you love
But it's not a love song
Not a love song
I love the way you get me
But correct me if I'm wrong
This is not a love song
Not a love song
I love that you bought the tickets (Uh-huh)
And you don’t make me watch a chick flick
We’ve come so far,
Being just the way we are
If it’s not broke, don’t fix it
I can’t guess the meaning,
When you don’t say what you’re feeling
If you got a broken heart,
You can punch me in the arm
Now that’s what you needed (That's just what you needed)
Don't take this the wrong way (Nope)
I love the things you do
It's how you do the things you love
But it's not a love song
Not a love song
I love the way you get me,
But correct me if I'm wrong
This is not a love song
Not a love song
I don’t speak girl (Like, hey girl!)
I don’t quite understand a manicure
But you’re
The only friend I’d take a shower for (And I would really do that for you)
And I, would hold your bags
When you go shopping
What a guy (What a guy, what a guy, what a guy)
What a guy
I love the things you do
It's how you do the things you love
The way you say you'd, put me through it
I guess I always knew it (I always knew)
I love the way you get me,
But correct me if I'm wrong
This is not a love song (not a love song)
Not a love song (I know it's not a love song)
I love the things you do
It's how you do the things you love
But it's not a love song (No, definitely not a love song)
Not a love song
I love the way you get me
But correct me if I'm wrong
This is not a love song (It's not a love song)
Not a love song
This is not a love song (It's not a love song)
Not a love song
This is not a love song (It's not a love song)
Not a love song
Episode Version
You're always on my mind
I think about you all the time
Um... no
Let's not talk about it
Drama, we can live without it
Catch a wave if we're bored
There's a clock we'll ignore
Find a way around it
Hey, girl, I can tell it's something
Even when you say "It's nothing"
When you're playin' with your hair
Like you just don't care
It's a tell- you're bluffing
Now, please don't take this the wrong way
I love the things you do
It's how you do the things you love
But it's not a love song, not a love song
I love the way you get me
But correct me if I'm wrong
This is not a love song
Not a love song
I love the things you do
It's how you do the things you love
But it's not a love song, not a love song
I love the way you get me
But correct me if I'm wrong
This is not a love song
Not a love song
