and ... anyone that does not think it is a love song never listened to it.
Of course, the lyrics are denial. But maybe that’s why it didn’t make the list, only the headline.
“I’m Not in Love” is a song written by Eric Stewart and Graham Gouldman of 10cc, from their album The Original Soundtrack.
The song expresses a highly romantic feeling yet the speaker seems to be in denial. He repeats several times “I’m not in love”, but at the end of the song he realises that he is deceiving himself.
RE: I’m Not in Love is a love song.
That is a well written and heartbreaking song from the male point of view. Denial and the fictional technique of the unreliable narrator (as someone telling the story for the listener to discern the truth behind it).
