I couldn't hear him at all you see 
 He was down the road away from me 
 How could I know his answer? 
 I couldn't hear him 'though he shouted hard 
 I couldn't hear him in my own backyard 
 The trains were rattling by above 
 He never mentioned love 
  
 He may have held my hand 
 When we were walking down the street 
 He talked about all kinds of things 
 But none of them were him and me 
 He looked into my eyes 
 Just as an airplane roared above 
 Said something about football 
 But he never mentioned love 
  
 I never heard him all the times he yelled 
 I never heard him if he tried to tell me 
 If my memory serves me well 
 He never mentioned love 
 I never hurt him 'though he says I did 
 I never hurt him but I die a bit 
 Each time he passes on the street 
 He never mentions love 
  
 I used to call him every night 
 And pray that he was home 
 I couldn't bear the feeling 
 I might have to live my life alone 
 But now my phone is off the hook 
 The word came from above 
 It told me I was wasting time 
 If he never mentioned love 
  
 I never heard him if he said he cared 
 I never heard him, I kept my claws bared 
 I never heard the things he says he said 
 He never mentioned he was scared 
 I never heard him when he asked of love 
 I never heard him as the skies above 
 Chucked buckets on the both of us 
 He never mentioned love 
  
 So if I seem hardhearted 
 I would like the court to note 
 He never mentioned love to me 
 In anything he wrote 
 And if I seem coldblooded 
 I should like to tell the judge 
 In all the time I knew this man 
 He never spoke of love 
 (or if he did) 
  
 I never heard him when he called to me 
 I never heard him at all you see 
 He was down the line away from me 
 He never mentioned L.U.V. 
 I never hurt him 'though he says I did 
 I never hurt him I just die a bit 
 Each time we meet upon the street 
 We never mention love
