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
