Don’t Wanna Think Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Now I'm not really one for drinkin' songs but
I guess that I should probably write one 'cause
I'm feelin' pretty lonely
He's the only thing that holds me right now
Now I'm not really one for drinkin' songs but
I guess if I'm not wrapped here in your arms then
I can't talk about love
And who wants to talk about love?

[Pre-Chorus]
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
I don't want us
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

[Chorus]
Well, I don't wanna think about you right now
Don't wanna think about you right now
'Cause if I did, it would be damn bad
And I'd show up at your house
All screamin' at your door
Sayin', "What the fuck is wrong with you?"
I thought that we were good enough
I thought that you needed love
No, I don't wanna think about you right now
Don't wanna think about you right now
[Verse 2]
Now I'm not really one for drinkin' songs but
Fuck it, here it comes, a
Heartbreak is annoying
And I'll feel it in the morning
Swallow it down like a bitter pill
At least it'll taste better than this feeling will
And I don't like myself when I'm just standing still

[Chorus]
No, I don't wanna think about you right now
Don't wanna think about you right now
'Cause if I did, it would be damn bad
And I'd show up at your house
All screamin' at your door
Sayin', "What the fuck is wrong with you?"
I thought that we were good enough
I thought that you needed love

[Outro]
I know that when I wake up there's gonna be seven texts and three calls to you
And I'm not gonna know what to do
And I'll make up some excuse about how that was meant for someone else
When the truth is I'm not over you

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

Genius Annotation

“Don’t Wanna Think” is the last track off of Julia Michaels' debut mini-album, Nervous System.

Written, as all the songs in the mini-album, following her breakup with long time boyfriend Nolan Lambroza, “Don’t Wanna Think”, provides an emotional insight of the feeling of not being over your ex: Julia struggles to forget her ex-boyfriend, but she eventually keeps thinking about him, calling and texting him late night.

The track was written and produced by Michaels herself, and, unlike other tracks in the mini-album, features a simple piano production.
