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
