No, Not Much

Bing Crosby · Other Songs - Bing Crosby

I don't want my arms around you, no not much

I don't bless the day I found you, no not much

I don't need you like the stars don't need the sky

I won't love you longer than the day I die



You don't please me when you squeeze me, no not much

My heads the lightest from your very slightest touch

Baby, if you ever go could I take it maybe so

Ah but would I like it, no not much



Like a ten cent soda doesn't cost a dime

I don't want you near me only all time



You don't thrill me when you hold me, no not much

My brain gets hazy from your cool and crazy touch

Baby if you ever go could I take it maybe so

Oh but would I like it, no not much

No not much
