This is a, (no... not a), valentine...

This isn't what you think, it's not what you'd expect...
i'm not the kind that gives out valentines...
i don't think so... (uh, uh... no, no, no...)

So... if you're the type expecting teddy bears
and lacey cards that say how much i care...
Pass whatever that is you're smokin' along to me...
'cause, you're trippin' on one helluva Hallmark fantasy!

But, if i were of that mind... i'd surely shower you
with chocolates, flowers, "forget-me-nots" and poetic lines,
Then we'd end up in "happily forever after land"...
but, that's for hopeless romantics, (which i'm not...)
and... this is a, (no... not a), valentine.

This is a, (no... not a), valentine...

but... if it were, (which it's not),
and i was so inclined, (no, never, uh, uh... no, not me)
to give you my heart, soul, body and mind
eternally, with unconditional love... forever more
would you... just maybe... want to be...

NO... this is a, (no... not a), valentine...
NO... this is a, (no... not a), valentine...

namaste, bliss and a happy "not a..." to all you dear ones!
