I don't need all my friends to tell me Things that I already know Like in the best of all worlds You shouldn't forget self-control Don't say I don't know what I'm doing 'Cause he said "it's more than a feeling" And I said "I need you too" Am I just a fool? I don't want to get hurt I don't want to get hurt I'm not looking for just another heartache I don't want to get hurt But I know it's a change I've got to take I don't need all my friends to remind me Mistakes that I've already made I just leave the past behind me And go on believing that I'll be okay Some thing are only human And he said he'd always need me And I said "I want you too" Am I just a fool? I don't want to get hurt I don't want to get hurt I'm not looking for just another heartache I don't want to get hurt But I know it's a chance I've got to take Just another heartache I don't need all my friends to tell me Things that I already know Like in the best of all worlds You shouldn't forget self-control Don't say I don't know what I'm doing And he said "it's more than a feeling" And I said "I need you too" Am I just a fool? I don't want to get hurt I don't want to get hurt I'm not looking for just another heartache I don't want to get hurt But I know it's a chance I've got to take I don't want to get hurt I don't want to get hurt I'm not looking for just another heartache I don't want to get hurt But I know it's a chance I've got to take I don't want to get hurt I don't want to get hurt I'm not looking for just another heartache I don't want to get hurt
