Don’t, try to explain
My hearts already broken
And I’m feelin the pain
The promise that you could not keep
Though it’s easy to see
You’re tired of me
Don’t, try to explain
I can see the truth
It’s all over your face
Someone has come between us
And I’m still lovin you
I know what I must do
It might take some time
To heal my wounded heart
Well I’m hurt
Downhearted
And I’m feelin misused
But I got my whole life ahead
And here’s where I start baby
Ohh don’t, don’t try to explain baby
Cause you’re all out in the open
But I’ll take the blame
For lovin you way too much
And foolishly hopin
All the time knowin
Aww don’t, don’t have to explain baby
Don’t you worry about it
Cause I’ll be okay
Cause you see pain ain’t nuthin new
Well it’s sure not the first time
And it’s probly not the last
You don’t have to explain baby
Don’t you worry about it
Cause I’ll be okay
You see, pain ain’t nuthin new
Well it’s sure ont the first time
And it probly won’t be the last
You see that’s the way it goes sometimes
