Gladys Knight

I Don't Want To Know

(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
