Intro: | | | | Verse: It's not the first time That I've had the sense that something's wrong 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, o baby... Chorus: I don't want to hear anymore You don't need to tell me it's over I've been here before Verse: 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 Chorus: 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 eyes Let me walk away with my head high Solo: | | | | If there's some other guy I don't need to know why Chorus: But 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
