I don't want to hear any more

It's not the first time

That I've had the sense that something's wrong

But I'm old enough to know

That things don't always work out like they should

I know you're tryin' hard

To break it gently to me, now

But there's no easy way

To tell it like it is, so baby...



I don't want to hear any more

You don't need to tell me it's over

I've been here before



I've seen that look before

I know it well; it comes as no surprise

You've been avoiding me

But now you want to talk it over

Before you take my hand

And tell me softly in a whisper

There's no need to explain

I've read the book; I know how this all ends



I don't want to hear any more

You don't need to tell me it's over

I've been here before



I won't ask you to stay

I won't stand in your way

Look me right in the eye

Let me walk away with my head high



If there's some other guy

I don't need to know why



But I don't want to hear any more

You don't need to tell me it's over

I've been here before



I won't ask you to stay

I won't stand in your way

And I don't want to hear any more

No, no, baby

I don't want to hear any more
