When I hear you say
Gonna leave and walk away
And I know, know, know you're hurting for sure
Well, I'm telling you
I ain't laughing and it's true
That I don't wanna hurt you anymore

It's been a while since we met and got it on
Said all the things we should say
Played all the games in a lovers carry on
Time after time, every day
Nothing at all then was ever gonna change
And there could never be another way

When I hear you say
Gonna leave and walk away
And I know, know, know you're hurting for sure
Well, I'm telling you
I ain't laughing and it's true
That I don't wanna hurt you anymore

There was a time when we didn't give a damn
Watching the sun always shine
Walking along down an endless avenue
Everything seemed to be fine
Then it was gone and we let it carry on
And now it's only hurting all the time

When I hear you say
Gonna leave and walk away
And I know, know, know you're hurting for sure
Well, I'm telling you
I ain't laughing and it's true
That I don't wanna hurt you anymore

If you say goodbye
And I know you wanna cry
And you long, long, long for something  more
Well, I'm telling you
It's because of all you do
That I don't wanna hurt you anymore
