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 anymore 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 anymore 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 Well I don't want to hear anymore 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 anymore No, no baby I don't want to hear anymore
