written by Warren Zevon 1989 Zevon Music Inc. BMI. We keep walking away for no reason at all. And no one says a word. We were always so busy protecting ourselves. We never would have heard. And the rate of attrition for lovers like us. Is steadily on the rise. Nobody's in love this year. Not even you and I. Due to lack of commitment on both of our parts. We're going our separate ways. This show of indifference is breaking our hearts. It's making us crazy yeah. You sit back and wait for your love to accrue. You'll be waiting a long long time. Nobody's in love this year. Not even you and I. I don't want to be Mr. Vulnerable. I don't want to get hurt. I don't want to be Mr. Vulnerable. I don't want to be the one who gets left behind. We keep walking away for no reason at all. For the sake of being free. No one's invested enough of themselves. To yield to maturity. And the rate of attrition for lovers like us. Is steadily on the rise. Nobody's in love this year. Nobody wants to try. Nobody's in love this year. Not even you and I. I don't want to be Mr. Vulnerable. I don't want to get hurt. I don't want to be Mr. Vulnerable. I don't want to be the one who gets left behind.
