IT'S NOT THE FIRST TIME THAT I 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 TRYING 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

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
I DON'T WANT TO HEAR ANY MORE
I DON'T WANT TO HEAR ANY MORE
