You don't want no more heartaches
And I don't want no  teardrops
What else is love to talk about
Cause I  ain't yours you ain't mine
The song don't fit and the words don't rhyme
Old memories keep standing in the way

You lost her I lost him
Two old hearts just won't love again
We don't need no memories hanging round

Since she's gone it don't seem right
Better off left alone at night
I ain't faking feelings far away
The days just come and disappear
You can't talk when I don't hear
It don't make no difference anyway

I lost her you lost him
Two old hearts just won't love again
I  don't need no memories hanging round

I want her you need him
Two old fire won't burn again
We don't need no memories hanging round
