We were going together for a long long time and it breaks my heart girl
to see you walking with some other guy
I been sitting alone here with a worried head
I've been talking to some downtown girls but don't believe the things that I have said
Cause girl don't you know I only tried to hide the pain when I said
I don't really love you, I don't really want you,
I don't want to have you, I don't really love you
Now we're hitting the daylight, morning looking sad
Never knew a guy could feel as lonely as I'm feelin oh so bad
Time is going slowly dragging like a weight
like to say I'm sorry but deep down in my heart it's just too late
Cause girl don't you know I only tried to hide the pain when I said
I don't really want you, I don't really need you,
I don't want to have you, I don't really love you
We were going together for a long long time
and it breaks my heart girl to see you walking with some other guy
Still I keep on trying lonely as I've been
Got to get your sweet, sweet smile to get that lovin feeling back again
Cause girl don't you know I only tried to hide the pain when I said
I don't really want you, I don't really need you, I don't want to have you,
I don't really love you, I don't really want you I don't really need you,
I don't want to have you, I don't really love you
