About I Don't Wanna Get Hurt

"I Don't Wanna Get Hurt" is the second single from the album Another Place and Time by Donna Summer. The song was released on May 15, 1989. The whole album was written and produced by British team Stock Aitken & Waterman (SAW) and was mainly in the style of their "hit factory" sound. This song was remixed for its release as a single, and in the UK became the Top 10 follow-up to its predecessor, the hit "This Time I Know It's for Real." SAW gained most of their success in Europe and a lot of their material was never aimed at the U. S. market, so this single was never released there.

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
