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 eyes 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
