I Don't Want To
Toni Braxton · Secrets
And I really don't feel like company at home
Lately I don't want to do the things I used to do
Baby since I lost you
And I don't want to sing another love song (babe)
I don't want to hum another melody
I don't want to live my life without you babe (yeah)
It's driving me crazy (crazy)
I really don't feel like smiling anymore
And I haven't had the peace to sleep at all
Ever since you went away
Baby my whole life has changed
I don't want to love and I don't want to live
And I don't want to sing another love song (baby)
I don't want to hum another melody
I don't want to live without you babe (yeah)
It's driving me crazy (crazy)
I don't wanna laugh, I don't wanna play
I don't wanna talk, Have nothing to say
I don't want to tour, forget this show and how can I go on
Now that you are gone
And I don't want to sing another love song (babe)
I don't want to hum another melody
I don't want to live my life without you babe (yeah)
It's driving me crazy (crazy)
