Anti-love songs
Just heard "I'll Never Fall In Love Again" by Burt Bacharach & Elvis Costello on TV -- so what are some other anti-love songs?

Chris Isaak's "Wicked Game" is the first that comes to mind.

2. Props to Harry Nilsson
You're breakin' my heart
You're tearin' it apart
So fuck you
All I want to do
Is have a good time
Now I'm blue
You wanna boogaloo
Run down to Tramps
Have a dance or two--ooh!
You're breaking my heart
You're tearin' it apart
But fuck you
You're breakin' my heart
You're tearin' it apart
Ooh!--ooh!--
You stepped on my ass
You're breaking my glasses too
You wanna drive my car
Buy a lot of stuff
I've had enough
Of you--ooh!
I'm goin' insane
There's no one to blame
So fuck you
You've gotta have your way
There's nothin' left to say
There's nothin' left to do--ooh!
You're breakin' my heart
You're tearin' it apart
So fuck you
You've gotta have your way
There's nothin' left to say
There's nothin' left to do--ooh!
You're breakin' my heart
You're tearin' it apart
But I love you
(Do-do-doots)

8. Zappa - I ain't got no heart
ain’t got no heart to give away
I sit and laugh at fools in love
There ain’t no such thing as love
No angels singing up above today
Girl I don’t believe
Girl I don’t believe in what you say
You say your heart is only mine
I say to you, you must be blind
What makes you think that you’re so fine
That I would throw away
The groovy life I lead
’cause baby, what you’ve got, yeah
It sure ain’t what I need

7. Love Hurts
love hurts, love scars,
love wounds, and marks,
any heart, not tough,
or strong, enough
to take a lot of pain,
take a lot of pain
love is like a cloud
holds a lot of rain
love hurts, ooh ooh love hurts

I'm young, I know,
but even so
I know a thing, or two
I learned, from you
I really learned a lot,
really learned a lot
love is like a flame
it burns you when it's hot
Love hurts, ooh ooh love hurts

some fools think of happiness
blissfulness, togetherness
some fools fool themselves I guess
they're not foolin' me

I know it isn't true,
I know it isn't true
love is just a lie,
made to make you blue
love hurts, ooh,ooh love hurts
ooh,ooh love hurts



I know it isn't true,
I know it isn't true
love is just a lie,
made to make you blue
love hurts, ooh ooh love hurts
ooh ooh love hurts
ooh ooh...

11. She Chameleon
I’ve seen a different doorway shut a million times before
The smiling she chameleon, the smiling vinyl whores

Distinctly a casual affair

They know what they want, they sing your name
And glide between the sheets
I never say no, in chemical glow we’ll let our bodies meet
So was it just a fuck, was it just a fuck, just another fuck I said
Loving just for laughs, carnal autograph, lying on a lizard’s bed
So was it just a fuck, was it just a fuck, just another fuck I bled
Degraded and alone, raped and still forlorn
Betrayed on a lizard’s bed, on a lizards bed
We chameleon, we chameleon, we (oui!) chameleon

12. "You Suck" - Murmurs
No one hurt my fragile little mind right now
It's tangled up and don't you know
The pussycat in me is curling up right now
But I'll bloom from the inside out
CHORUS:
But right now there's dust on my guitar you fuck
And it's all your fault
You paralyze my mind and for that you suck oh ho oh ho
Freedom's on my list today and I'm feeling pissed
But my timeless thoughts and ageless mind
Won't let you get away (let you get away)
And your guilty little conscience won't either
CHORUS:
But right now there's dust on my guitar you fuck
And it's all your fault
You paralyze my mind and for that you suck Oh ho oh ho
We all take risks we all fall hard
But you you went too far
And I'm to plush for your pathetic digs
And you're the only one you'll scar
CHORUS:
But right now there's dust on my guitar you fuck
And it's all your fault
You paralyze my mind and for that you suck
And for that you suck oh ho oh ho
Oh ho oh ho
Oh ho oh h

13. Ben Folds' "Song for the Dumped"

song for the dumped lyrics by ben folds five

So you wanted
to take a break
Slow it down some and
have some space
Well fuck you too
Give me my money back
Give me my money back
you bitch
I want my money back
(And don't forget to give
me back my black T-Shirt)
Wish I hadn't bought you dinner
Right before you dumped me
on your front porch
Give me my money back
Give me my money back
You bitch
I want my money back
and don't forget
And don't forget.

14. Nancy Sinatra - These Boots Are Made For Walking

You keep saying
You got something for me
Something you call love
But confess
You've been a'messin'
Where you shouldn't 've
Been a'messin'
And now someone else
Is getting all your best
Well, these boots
Are made for walking,
And that's just what they'll do
One of these days
These boots are gonna
Walk all over you

You keep lyin'
When you oughta be truthin'
You keep losing
When you oughta not bet
You keep samin'
When you oughta be
A'changin'
What's right is right
But you ain't been right yet
These boots are made for walking,
And that's just what they'll do
One of these days
These boots are gonna
Walk all over you

You keep playing
Where you shouldn't be playing
And you keep thinking
That you'll never get burnt (HAH)
Well, I've just found me
A brand new box of matches (YEAH)
And what he knows
You ain't had time to learn
These boots are made for walking,
And that's just what they'll do
One of these days
These boots are gonna
Walk all over you

Are you ready, boots?
Start walkin'

15. Here's one I wrote:
SUCKS TO BE YOU
(Rueckhaus)

Hagen Dazs with chocolate sauce
Some sadness on the side
Wearin’ long johns, eating bon-bons
So are the days of your life

A pout of self-pity starts lookin’ pretty pretty
When it’s worn by you
But I know it’s an invention just to get a little attention
It must Suck to be you.

(bridge:)
It must suck to be the you you choose
Of all the yous you could choose to be
Mental distress ain’t the best way for you to express
Your individuality

Buy some new clothing, decorate your self loathing
But you don’t take off the label
And when you get all dressed, you’re still depressed
You’re fashionably unstable

I want a money back guarantee on your personality
Which shifts from black to blue
Get drunk, get pissed, get yourself a therapist
It must suck to be you

-solo
-bridge

And if you ask me what I think, you could use a good shrink
‘Cause I’m not qualified
Stay in bed, wear black, pop yourself some Prozac
And get me off this ride

Yes I guess it would be best if we give it a rest
Before I go mental, too (I’m not perfect)
But if we were to trade, baby you’d have it made
It must suck to be you. (x2)

17. "Sit On My Face, Stevie Nicks"
I remember it was on a punk album released in time for Valentine's Day back in the 90's. It was an album of nothing but anti-love songs. Played it on my college radio show quite a bit.

Ahhh, memories!

Anyone remember the album?

18. Few here could afford to sit on Fleetwood's crack
She is overrated and would need to either pay me or play a benefit show to get my mug on her split.

20. This is not a love song...
Johny Rooten a.k. Lydon in his best cynical mood:

(John Lydon/Bill Levene/Martin Atkins)
This is not a love song
Happy to have, not to have not
Big business is very wise
I'm crossing over into
E-enter-prize
Love song
Love song
Love song
Love song
I'm going over to the other side
I'm happy to have not to have not
Big business is very wise
I'm inside free enterprise
I'm adaptable
I'm adaptable
I'm adaptable and I
like my new role
I'm getting better and better
And I have a new goal
I'm changing my ways where money applies
CHORUS
Now are you ready to grab the cradle
That tunnel vision-not television
Behind the curtain-out of the cupboard
YOu take the first train-into the big world
Now will I find you-now will you be there
CHORUS

Hello from Germany,
Dirk

24. Strange Relationship
by Prince

http://www.lyricsdepot.com/prince/strange-relationship.html

I guess U know me well, I don't like winter
But I seem 2 get a kick out of doing U cold
Oh, what the hell, U always surrender
What's this strange relationship that we hold on 2?
Baby I just can't stand 2 see U happy
More than that I hate 2 see U sad
Honey if U left me I just might do something rash
What's this strange relationship? (ship, ship, ship)

I came and took your love, I took your body
I took all the self respect U ever had
I took U 4 a ride and baby I'm sorry
The more U love me sugar, the more it makes me mad

Baby I just can't stand 2 see U happy
More than that I hate 2 see U sad
Honey if U left me I just might do something rash
What's this strange relationship? (ship, ship, ship)

Isn't it a shame this ain't a movie
Then U could rewrite my every line
I'll take all the blame, yo baby I'm sorry
But I didn't like the way U were, so I had 2 make U mine

Baby I just can't stand 2 see U happy
More than that I hate 2 see U sad
Honey if U left me I just might do something rash
What's this strange relationship? (ship, ship, ship)

Mmmmm, my strange relationship
Can't live with U, can't live without U
That's all about..
Do U know? (strange relationship)
I think U and I got a (strange relationship)
What's this strange relationship?
Yeah, yeah
