so much nostalgia. I remember when I was in 7th grade every night before school I would just lay in the dark listening to music. Man, so many good memories.
I feel like a lot of people misunderstand this song, despite the name it's not about not wanting to be in love, it's about saying that you don't want to be in love after a break up because you're afraid to get hurt and it's telling you to let it go and to get out there and find someone.
It's been a long time since I've heard this song. Like since elementary school. It was on of my favorites on my ICarly CD that I got. It brings back a lot of memories.
their music is magic. No matter if it is more serious songs as s.o.s. or hold on or the lighter songs as this one they are always great. Tasteful and just overall great. Thank you for posting this.
When he said "get off the wire" I stopped for a minute like.. "What does this mean? What is this a metaphor for??" then I remembered that phones used to have wires.
And, here, ladies and gentelmen, a true masterpiece we've got. Nostalgia for some, a friend for the very rest. That's what we call a "true" masterpiece.
This song takes me back to when I had my own radio in middle school and I kept the radio on the only station that played alternative music in hopes this would play... I would wake up in the middle of the night with this song playing, jam out, and go back to sleep. This song, and Bring Me to Life. This was 2006. Damn! It's been 10 years!!
+Sarah Kuhns well of course it is, I to do the same thing. I left our home town/everyone behind a year ago and I still love her even till this day. She was my light, my angel, my life and my everything. I would give anything to hold her now in my arms and share the love we once felt not once but twice. :'(
i can't believe i found this song again. this song was the song i'd always listen in middle school because of some unrequited love i had for someone. now that i'm over that this song doesn't really have the same impact it used to have...
I am actually afraid to fall in love. It's my top fear. I just don't think that it's possible for somebody to only love one person until they die. I'd probably be cheated on. The weridest thing is... I have never dated anyone before.
I understand...its a hard decision to say yes to someone because you are basically giving them a chance to break you and its up to them to do so or not......
Not sure what I've been doing only listening to rap and hip hop for the past two years.... all of these songs are completely relate-able and would've been a great guide in life if I found them earlier... just gained a whole new appreciation for this genre.
I really hate seeing all these young teens/children saying they don't every wanna be in love again, or they are scared, or something like that. Just because you had a first time experience and it ended bad doesn't mean all the others will. Being young and in love are possibly the harshes combinations. But trust me, you do NOT know all about it. As you go through life, love more people, explore, discover new things...There is a lot you found out that you thought you knew but really didn't. I used to think I knew everything by the time I was 15. Boy was I wrong. You think you are all grown up, and can be truly in love at such a young age. No. There will be a time, as you age, and you keep looking back saying to yourself- "why did I do that?" or "why did I say that?" - Or just look at something differently, or understand something better when you're older. People say to cherish your teen years, and I agree. Make happy memories and don't try to grow up so fast. You have your whole life to be old.
Who still remembers their first Crush/Love? i sure do and i will never forget her no matter what i do..... but the person that's with me now is special.. The same goes for you do you know why they're special?? Its because they made you fall in love when you thought you would never be able to love again.
That's so true! Though for me its a tad backwards atm xD My most recent crush(And by that I mean second ever) just rejected me b4 I confessed(Like 2 hours ago) And my first crush/love is now the really good friend that's lending me a shoulder to cry on... So backwards XD
Trapdoor Majesty I was born in 2000 too. First heard this song when my cousin was jamming it in his headphones while we were on our way to go out to eat
blame the producers for this change we need to back up to the time of the beatles and then listen to the music now because some of the songs now has no meaning, beatles have meaning in there song. My nephew doesn't even know who papa roach is and every song i showed him he said he didn't know who it was so i had a friend lend me a cd and he liked hollywood undead sadly
The fact that the first time I heard this I became obsessed & screamed it though the streets, now I'm engaged & pregnant. What happened? I moved, like a lot. I'm still a little anxious around my fiancé but we're really close & he's my best friend. We're due to have our little girl, Rebecca, in March. Just a month away.
When your in 11th grade and listening to this in class and your mumbling the lyrics. Your friends looking at you and singing with you. Then your singing it together with no care in the world.
mann... reading these lyrics like and actully empathizing with them... its like really hitting my heart and i can really appreciate this song now that i really feel emotion to go with it.
I remember my first girlfriend in 6th grade said this was her favorite song so I looked it up on youtube and loved it. Now I looked it up just for old times sake and how ironic to realize that I'm living out the first part of the song... makes me emotional from that and the nostalgia. Help me!
*clicks on this song thinking I've never heard it because I've never listened to Good Charlotte before but the it turns out that I DO KNOW THIS SONG BECAUSE IT WAS ON FUCKING KIDZ-BOP*
Who could say that one single person can change your whole world?. For the good things or bad things. They change your world and thats when you start to see life as how it truly is.
Picture it: Looking at the man of your dreams. He's beautiful, and maybe he's not perfect, but you love him. You talk every day. Maybe your life isn't the happiest, but he always helps you through it. You've cared greatly for him since you first met. You might even call it love at first sight. Your best friend is in love with you, and you have to deny him because you love someone else. He moves on, happily dating a pretty girl with long, black hair. You wake up next to your man, with his perfectly bronzed skin, blonde hair, and golden eyes hiding behind his sleeping eye lids. They flutter open. Then you shut the book, remembering that you're NOT Clary Fray, and you DON'T have a boyfriend. Then you cry because you're in love with a fictional character's fictional boyfriend. FUCK.
"Love" does not exist. It is not a material object, it is an idea. It's what people look for to feel secure. Surely something that always ends in tears cannot be a good thing. "Love" sucks ._.
You're sort of right when you say that. Love exists as an idea to people and it gives pleasure to people yet it may be bad depending on how you use the idea. It'll only end bad if YOU make it bad and it'll end good if YOU make it good.
I think love is real, how is it you cant believe in love but you believe in hate? they're both extremely powerful emotions and even if it ends badly it doesn't mean it was all bad. Maybe you were hurt too many times or havent felt the real thing yet but i dont think you should give up on it.
Love is real. Love is an oxymoron. It's the best and the worst feeling in the world, but it's the "best" part that makes finding it so worth it. It doesn't always end in tears. Sometimes it doesn't even have to end. You just need to be able to tell the difference between "love" and "lust", and "love" and "crush".
when I was 5, I was only allowed to listen to Kids Bop. I only wanted to listen to the rock/pop punk songs. So I was a 5 year old singing Good Charlotte during snack time. I was literally a 5 year old emo.
I have actually listen. to this song when I was going thru a break up but I'm happly engaged to the love of my life!! this song helped me a lot and what I was going through
i love songs that name themselves after their chorus, it makes my life easier
we are now spiritually connected
Turdysevenmofos omg you just made my day x) do you have a tumblr?
Paola Morales yep
Paola Morales Yep! its tehe1d
Usually, it's either that, the first line or something that makes sense
so much nostalgia. I remember when I was in 7th grade every night before school I would just lay in the dark listening to music. Man, so many good memories.
I'm in 7th grade and I'm doing this right now :3
Trenton Boston I was in 7th grade when this came out I was 14 (I'm 22 now)I loved this song (i still love it)
Sonya Jones exactly same lol
Trenton Boston Sameee man I'm 22 now.
For me i went to cybercafe to stream music near a workshop with a smell of grease. Such a great memory
for everyone listening in 2015+ i salute you. you are good people.
wow, thanks. Here's a lollipop for you 🍭
thank you
+lilly blackwell 2016 ;)
Katya Pena samee ;33
2016!!! 😁
This song makes me feel like I'm a teenager and I love it.
It's refreshing.
I'm a teenager and I've never been in love lol.
I remember listening to this when I was like 11 - 12 and now I'm 19 how time flies
I don't wanna grow up all of a sudden.....
growing up sucks. I'm 24 wishing I was still 14.
Stop it you're making me scared
Kanon Ball 233 it's true I'm 16 wishing I was 9
I'm 24 now lol This song brings back memories for sure
Listening on Valentine's Day.
Best day to not want to be in love.
Me too!!
+Under Curse Yeah, cause how you look dictates whether you can speak or not. Seriously? Not cool.
hahahah SpringOf1995 i was just messing around
Agreed. This is still my ultimate Valentine's Day song... six years now 💔 😂
I feel like a lot of people misunderstand this song, despite the name it's not about not wanting to be in love, it's about saying that you don't want to be in love after a break up because you're afraid to get hurt and it's telling you to let it go and to get out there and find someone.
Pretty much a good definition but everyone wants love but not always that type. One relationship is good enough for most.
This song will never get old, for me at least it won't!
ikr
Same
+Carlee Schumacher Everything has to be about you.
+Adderly Clark She made a simple comment. Get over it.
+Adderly Clark. No it doesn't. It was my opinion, which I'm aloud to state.
The intro to this song is so badass, but damn... them feels in this song
This song demands to be played at high volume levels, it's perfect
With beats to
I know right?!!
Me -Sings " I don't wanna be in love I don't wanna be in love "
Husband - side eyeing.
Me- wink and keep singing lol.

Good Valentine's Day song.... :I
My ultimate Valentine's Day song... six years now 💔 😂
Happy Valentines day 🖤
I could listen to this song 10 000 times in a row and still never be tired of it!!!
Ahh middle school days! Memories are hitting me so much tonight
Took me to a trip from my childhood. God I’m old.
It's been a long time since I've heard this song. Like since elementary school. It was on of my favorites on my ICarly CD that I got. It brings back a lot of memories.
What's ironic is I'm like blasting this in my room when I'm very happily in love with my boyfriend. 😂😂😂 I don't care, it's a good song.
If he heard you and sang along with you and you both end up making out somewhere in the middle of song. Marry him.
Hahaha knowing him I wouldn't be shocked if that happened.
Omg me too😂 I love my boyfriend to pieces but this song is amazing
Are y'all still together
MEE TOO 😂😂😂😂
love rediscovering songs and remembering the lyrcis
Holy moly...31 december 2008 What a times !
their music is magic. No matter if it is more serious songs as s.o.s. or hold on or the lighter songs as this one they are always great. Tasteful and just overall great. Thank you for posting this.

When he said "get off the wire" I stopped for a minute like.. "What does this mean? What is this a metaphor for??" then I remembered that phones used to have wires.
+Bran O'neil lmao
omg
Omg😂
😂
THAT is fucking hilarious!
And, here, ladies and gentelmen, a true masterpiece we've got.
Nostalgia for some, a friend for the very rest. That's what we call a "true" masterpiece.

I would wake up in the middle of the night with this song playing, jam out, and go back to sleep. This song, and Bring Me to Life. This was 2006. Damn! It's been 10 years!!
I remember when i used to listen to this song when i was 7 now im 15.. forever great. x
Man I've always loved this song but I never knew the name, it's just as great as I remembered
somehow this song makes me wanna put my hands up and scream.
same.
ditto!
Let's all do that together
'I don't wanna be in love' *rises hand as she dances*
I DONT WANNA BE IN LOVE!
Woooow. Time warp. Was in 8th grade when this came out. Funny. How time flies by. Miss those days. 2000s kids are gettin olllllllld 😔😔
I was in Walmart one day and this song played ....cue crazy fangirl antics singing and dancing while walking through Walmart lol:)
this happened twice...OK this is not a coincidence!
+xXKITTEN~SHINEXx I am that crazy girl
2018
I'm glad I'm not the only one.
I have a boyfriend, but I still sing this with full passion of not wanting to be in love.
Is that ok...? xD
Yes
That all depends on whether or not you still have feelings for the one you think about playing this song.
I have nobody and I sing songs about being in a relationship with full passion. is that ok? ;u;
+Sarah Kuhns well of course it is, I to do the same thing. I left our home town/everyone behind a year ago and I still love her even till this day. She was my light, my angel, my life and my everything. I would give anything to hold her now in my arms and share the love we once felt not once but twice. :'(
Dat is ok
Is it uncommon for this song to make people cry? Because I cry every time I hear it.
No, I'm sure you're not the only one who cries to this song.
I'm crying Now
You're gay
i can't believe i found this song again. this song was the song i'd always listen in middle school because of some unrequited love i had for someone. now that i'm over that this song doesn't really have the same impact it used to have...

I have never dated anyone before.
i fell in love, but when that ends its to worst possible feeling you can feel thats why I'm also scared of falling in love again
aye, i feel you there
Dont be afraid to fall in love, its the best felling ever. When u do break up it hurts but it makes u a stronger and better person
I understand...its a hard decision to say yes to someone because you are basically giving them a chance to break you and its up to them to do so or not......
well that's a really cynical and 7th-grade-reject-esque type of comment.
this song got me through a "difficult" time my freshman year of high school. rofl
Tahyang i just finished year 10
I used to listen to this in elementary school that was so many years ago 😭 I'm old!!
Same. Time goes by so fast. 😔 also I love your profile picture!
Not sure what I've been doing only listening to rap and hip hop for the past two years.... all of these songs are completely relate-able and would've been a great guide in life if I found them earlier... just gained a whole new appreciation for this genre.
It's 2019 and I still love this song
Best song for me :D
I really hate seeing all these young teens/children saying they don't every wanna be in love again, or they are scared, or something like that.

by far one of the most catchy songs ever

Its hard to think that I've been jamming to this for 8 years, since I was 8 years old I just-
o___o woah since 8? As in o`8? You were born in 2000? That's cute.
Trapdoor Majesty
I was born in 2000 too. First heard this song when my cousin was jamming it in his headphones while we were on our way to go out to eat

Nikita Komatsu couldnt have said it better myself
I was. Thinking the same thing... Two great minds think alike!😄😄
Nikita Komatsu There are actually good bands with really meaningful songs and amazing lyrics, it's just really hard to find them
You got a reason to live
Say I don't wanna be in love
I don't wanna be in love!!!!!
Why can't music these days be this good? ;-;
The fact that the first time I heard this I became obsessed & screamed it though the streets, now I'm engaged & pregnant. What happened? I moved, like a lot. I'm still a little anxious around my fiancé but we're really close & he's my best friend. We're due to have our little girl, Rebecca, in March. Just a month away.

i saw them last night bc they were supporting all time low and they was amazing!
I first heard this a few months back in a best buy. I never looked back.
Thank goodness for shopping stores playing classic songs
Forever a classic. Used to jam to this on the way to 5th grade UIL competitions. Now I'm jamming to it my freshman year of college.
took me 12 damn years to hear this song once again.
Wow I haven't heard this in forever
Still listening to this in 2020❗️
one of three childhood theme songs I ALWAYS had playing in my head. this song will never ever for ever never get old! =D!!
This is such an awesome song !!! I know the feeling 😎
This song should be on everyone's break up playlist.
Who else is screaming at top volume in 2019? Lol still my fave breakup jam
Victoria Elise 🙋🏻♀️

My mum got me into Good Charlotte and I'm so glad she did, 'cause I saw them recently and they were great, 10/10 totally see them again! :)
*Puts up hand*
Me: I don't wanna be in LOVE!
When your in 11th grade and listening to this in class and your mumbling the lyrics. Your friends looking at you and singing with you. Then your singing it together with no care in the world.
kate v If it makes you feel better. I'm singing it. If you sing it, we'll be singing it together.

time really flies doesn't it?
BEST BREAK UP SONG EVRA!!!!!!!!!!!!
Raelynn P true
this song gives me the feels
I remember my first girlfriend in 6th grade said this was her favorite song so I looked it up on youtube and loved it. Now I looked it up just for old times sake and how ironic to realize that I'm living out the first part of the song... makes me emotional from that and the nostalgia. Help me!
OMG REALLY!?!? For YEARS I thought this was "I don't wanna be alone!" I feel so stupid. ;A;"
It's okay. I did also. I'm glad I'm not the only one :)
I tried to Google "I don't wanna be alone" and i felt kinda stupid after so...
i thought it was both, youre not alone hun cx
I love these songs. Too bad that we gotta deal with Watch Me Whip/Nae Nae, Anaconda, and other songs like those nowadays..
TRUTH
+Jedi Bird Plays so true! I hate this generation's music!
I know that, but it's impossible to avoid listening to those songs. Especially if you live in a ghetto neighborhood (which I unfortunately do).
+Jedi Bird Plays ah yes ikr
+Jedi Bird Plays look up twenty one pilots if you want, they're my favorite atm
I love this song so much I want to sing along to it but then I remember I can't sing 😅😅😅
That happens to me all the time with all the songs I love. XD
f*** it sing anyways!!!!!
Tommy Clayton Actually I do now. And I am not THAT bad, I noticed. :)
It doesn't matter if you can't sing , sing your heart out
rachael delørey my life
This song makes me feel angry at everyone who's mistreated me. I feel heard and empathized with.

Ain’t that just bullshit hahaha
if you had your heartbroken then love sucks -_- but if your heart is not broken then lucky you

Who could say that one single person can change your whole world?. For the good things or bad things. They change your world and thats when you start to see life as how it truly is.
Picture it:
Looking at the man of your dreams. He's beautiful, and maybe he's not perfect, but you love him. You talk every day. Maybe your life isn't the happiest, but he always helps you through it. You've cared greatly for him since you first met. You might even call it love at first sight. Your best friend is in love with you, and you have to deny him because you love someone else. He moves on, happily dating a pretty girl with long, black hair. You wake up next to your man, with his perfectly bronzed skin, blonde hair, and golden eyes hiding behind his sleeping eye lids. They flutter open. Then you shut the book, remembering that you're NOT Clary Fray, and you DON'T have a boyfriend. Then you cry because you're in love with a fictional character's fictional boyfriend.
FUCK.
Oh my god XD
Struggles, man

IT'S NOT FAIR
this is probably my favorite good charlotte song js
i don't wanna be in loveee *raises my hands up*
because i have better things to do then be in love o3o
Agreed
Heard this on the radio like 20 mins ago for the first time in years and I could still remember most of the song.
Love is a mess. I'm too young for love anyways. May I find love some day, but for now, I don't want to be in love.
Have things changed for you? I'm 17 and still not ready for love at all x3
i'm in love with my girlfriend, im just here cause i like good music
also 2019 anyone?
Yep🤩
I am here because the person who I loved and cherished my time with left me like that, as if 10 months, all my time, love and effort meant nothing...
This was my jam when I was 13
I feel 10/11 years old again listening to this yes I was emo at that age🖤🖤🖤
I DON'T WANT BE IN LOVE BECAUSE I HAVE NO ONE TO LOVE ME
Thank you +dutchvonrichardson :') I'll try hugs you =^^=
good song ;-; i wish we can rewind time
To the good ol' days
my childhood
went to my first concert in mn (first ave) ....never really liked them. but now that im single...songs have meaning and i love em.
"Love" does not exist. It is not a material object, it is an idea. It's what people look for to feel secure. Surely something that always ends in tears cannot be a good thing. "Love" sucks ._.
You're sort of right when you say that. Love exists as an idea to people and it gives pleasure to people yet it may be bad depending on how you use the idea. It'll only end bad if YOU make it bad and it'll end good if YOU make it good.
Most of the time lust is mistaken for love, and I've found relationships based on lust ALWAYS end badly.
I think love is real, how is it you cant believe in love but you believe in hate? they're both extremely powerful emotions and even if it ends badly it doesn't mean it was all bad. Maybe you were hurt too many times or havent felt the real thing yet but i dont think you should give up on it.
Love is real. Love is an oxymoron. It's the best and the worst feeling in the world, but it's the "best" part that makes finding it so worth it. It doesn't always end in tears. Sometimes it doesn't even have to end. You just need to be able to tell the difference between "love" and "lust", and "love" and "crush".
Love in one hand. Spit in the other. Tell me which one gets full first.
when I was 5, I was only allowed to listen to Kids Bop. I only wanted to listen to the rock/pop punk songs. So I was a 5 year old singing Good Charlotte during snack time. I was literally a 5 year old emo.
this song describes what i say in my head i don't want to be in love but the love bug gets to everyone
I have actually listen. to this song when I was going thru a break up but I'm happly engaged to the love of my life!! this song helped me a lot and what I was going through
