The Lovin' Spoonful

The Lovin' Spoonful is an American rock band of the 1960s, named to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2000. When asked about his band, leader John Sebastian said it sounded like a combination of "Mississippi John Hurt and Chuck Berry," prompting his friend, Fritz Richmond, to suggest the name "Lovin' Spoonful" from a line in Hurt's song, "Coffee Blues".[citation needed] more »

Didn't want to have to do it
Didn't want to have to break your heart
Didn't want to have to do it
I kept a-hopin' from the very start
But you kept on a-tryin'
And I knew that you'd end up a-cryin'
And I knew I didn't want to have to do it at all

Didn't want to have to do it
Didn't want to have to be the one to say it
Didn't want to have to do it
I kept a-hopin' there'd be somethin' to delay it again
Yeah, but then
No, I didn't want to have to be the one to say "The end"

Was a time that I thought our love could fly
 and never never fall
Why should I suppose we were never really meant
 to be close to each other at all
No, I...

Didn't want to have to do it
Didn't want to have to be the one to say it
Didn't want to have to do it
I kept a-hopin' there'd be somethin' to delay it again
Yeah, but then
No, I didn't want to have to be the one to say "The end"
No no, not the end, no no no
