Keyshia Cole is a legend when it comes to the R&B space and just about a week ago, she got to battle it out with Ashanti for a Verzuz battle that reignited a lot of people’s nostalgia. Cole is one of those artists that longtime fans are always looking forward to new music from and on Friday, she ended up delivering with a beautifully emotional new track called “I Don’t Wanna Be In Love.”
Throughout the track, Cole can be heard singing about a current lover who she is conflicted about. It seems like they both have other people in their lives, and are worried about what they should do next. These lyrics are surrounded by a gorgeous instrumental that contains a string section and some heartstring-tugging horns.
Keyshia Cole – I Don’t Wanna Be In Love (prod. Ron Fair, Keyshia Cole & Brian Vincent Bates)
[Intro]
(I don’t wanna be, I don’t wanna be, no)
(I don’t wanna be, I don’t wanna be, no)
[Verse 1]
We both got a situation, hesitation
Whenever we hook up, it’s all love, never any expectations
I know we went much further
I met your girl, never wanna hurt her
Never wanna be that chick, but lately, this is really feeling like torture
[Pre-Chorus]
Friends don’t come a dime a dozen
So tell me why when I’m with you (It’s like smelling roses)
When I needed the space, you left with no trace
And at the end of the day
You can go back to her
[Chorus]
I don’t wanna be in love with you
Everything that we’ve been through
In spite of love, we always hesitate
I just show up too late, but you know
And it’s true
You’ll make me out to be a fool
Everything that we’ve been through
In spite of love, we always hesitate
I just pulled up too late, it’s getting old, oh-oh
(I don’t wanna be, I don’t wanna be, no)
(I don’t wanna be, I don’t wanna be, no)
[Verse 2]
The bond that we got is special, we gotta be careful
And we don’t wanna throw away something real for superficial
And we both understand each other
Don’t wanna be smothered
We both have someone else we’re in love with (But we know)
[Pre-Chorus]
Friends don’t come a dime a dozen (No, they don’t)
So tell me why when I’m with you, it’s like (Smelling roses)
When I needed the space, you left with no trace
And at the end of the day
You can go back to her
[Chorus]
I don’t wanna be in love with you
Everything that we’ve been through
In spite of love, we always hesitate
I just show up too late, but you know
And it’s true
You’ll make me out to be a fool
Everything that we’ve been through
In spite of love, we always hesitate
I just pulled up too late, it’s getting old, oh-oh
[Bridge]
Far from what is real (So far from what is real)
Far from what you feel
I’m so far from what I thought was right
So far from what I call my life
I don’t wanna be in love
[Chorus]
And it’s true
I don’t wanna be in love with you
Everything that we’ve been through
In spite of love, we always hesitate
I just show up too late, but you know
And it’s true
You’ll make me out to be a fool (Fool)
Everything that we’ve been through
In spite of love, we always hesitate
I just pulled up too late, it’s getting old, oh-oh
[Outro]
(I don’t wanna be, I don’t wanna be, no)
It’s getting so old
(I don’t wanna be, I don’t wanna be, no)
It’s getting too late
(I don’t wanna be, I don’t wanna be, no)
We’re too, too old
Nah, nah, nah, nah, no
