I Don't Want To Know lyrics

(I’ve heard it all before
And love is a two-way street
You have to give something to this relationship
I’m all out of understanding
It’s always something with you
And all I’ve got to say is)

Gave you the best, best years of my life
And I gave you a woman who stood by your side
Through all your ups and downs
Your rights and all your wrongs
And God knows there were wrongs
I should have been long gone

But when I made you that promise
For better or worse
I said I’d stay by your side
I swallow my pride
And now you’re asking me to understand
And I’m telling you I can’t
Why should I care about your feelings
When you don’t give a damn about mine

Well I don’t want to know
I couldn’t care less about your feelings
Don’t you know you should have cared more about mine
And I don’t want to know
It really doesn’t matter why you’re leaving
You should know you’re really throwing away your life
And I won’t sympathise
You hurt me for the last time
Got no tears left to cry

Baby, gave you three hearts
One boy and one girl
And a, a woman who loves you
We’re sitting here falling apart
All through your ins and outs
Your fears and all your doubts
God knows there’ve been doubts
But we’ve given you a home

And you’re just throwing it away, baby
All for some girl born yesterday
And what about your children
There’s nothing to explain
But still you’re asking us to understand
Well I’m telling you we can’t
Why should we care about your reasons
When you’re walking right out of our lives

Said I don’t want to know
I couldn’t care less about your feelings
Don’t you know you should have cared more about mine
And I don’t want to know
It really doesn’t matter why you’re leaving
You should know you’re really throwing away your life
And I won’t sympathise
You hurt me for the last time
Got no tears left to cry

Say goodbye to all the loving memories, yeah
One last time, one good look at all the love
That won’t be in your life
Say goodbye, I hope that you’ll be happy
Don’t look back, cos it’ll be too late
I’m going on with my life

And I don’t want to know
I couldn’t care less about your feelings
Oh, don’t you know you should have cared more ‘bout mine
And I don’t want to know
It really doesn’t matter why you’re leaving
You, you should know you’re really throwing away your life
And I won’t, I won’t, I won’t sympathise
You hurt me, hurt me, hurt me for the last time
Got no tears left to cry, no, no
