i don't want to hear anymore

Paul Carrack

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
