Thanks, But No Thanks

Lyrics

“Thanks, But No Thanks” (Verse 1) You’ve been texting every day, hey, what’s up? Droppin’ every hint, trying to test your luck. I’m just laughing, playing nice, keeping it cool, But you keep going on like it’s the golden rule. You think I’m shy, or maybe just polite, But I’ve sidestepped you like a hundred times tonight. You call me perfect, say I’m what you need, But I’m just nodding, smiling, planting a seed. (Chorus) Oh, thanks, but no thanks, you’re tryin’ too hard, I’ve swerved you gently but you’re takin’ it hard. Yeah, I’m real flattered, love the chase, But this dance ain’t meant to be a race. You’re sweet, don’t doubt it, but baby just see, Sometimes a friend is all you need to be. (Verse 2) You keep doubling down, raising the stakes, Droppin’ compliments like it’s high-school heartbreaks. I’m out here throwin’ kindness, subtle and soft, But you’re sending roses, it’s a little bit off. It’s sweet, yeah, I get it, you’re a hell of a guy, But I’m giving you chances to just say goodbye. And you’re funny, sure, but let’s keep it real, This whole thing’s turned into a big ordeal. (Chorus) Oh, thanks, but no thanks, you’re tryin’ too hard, I’ve swerved you gently but you’re takin’ it hard. Yeah, I’m real flattered, love the chase, But this dance ain’t meant to be a race. You’re sweet, don’t doubt it, but baby just see, Sometimes a friend is all you need to be. (Bridge) I swear it’s not you, just the way it goes, Sometimes it’s yes, but sometimes it’s no. You’re a cool dude, yeah, I’m all about friends, But this path’s got to reach its end. (Chorus) Oh, thanks, but no thanks, you’re tryin’ too hard, I’ve swerved you gently but you’re takin’ it hard. Yeah, I’m real flattered, love the chase, But this dance ain’t meant to be a race. You’re sweet, don’t doubt it, but baby just see, Sometimes a friend is all you need to be. (Outro) So here’s to you, the nicest try, Let’s call it even, let the dream die. It’s not rejection, just a redirection, You’ll thank me someday for the correction.
