Gladys Knight – I Don't Want To Know lyrics

I heard it all before.
When love is a two-way street, you have to give something in a relationship.
I'm all out of understanding.
It's always something with you and all I got to say is this.

Gave you the best, the best years of my life
And I gave you a woman who stood by your side
All through your ups and downs, your rights, and all your wrongs.
And God knows there were wrongs, I should've been long gone.
But when I made you that promise for better or worse,
I said I'd stay by your side.
I swallowed my pride.
And now you're asking me to understand,
And I'm telling you I can't.
Why should I care about your feelings
When you don't give a damn about mine.

Well, I don't want to know.
I couldn't care less about your feelings.
Don't you know you should've cared more about mine.
And I don't want to know.
It really doesn't matter why you're leaving.
You should know you're really throwing away your life.
And I won't sympathize, you hurt me for the last time.
Got no tears left to cry, baby.

Gave you three hearts, one boy and one girl and a, a woman who loves you.
We're sitting here falling apart
All through your ins and outs, your fears, and all your doubts.
God knows there's been doubts, but we've given you a home.
And now you're throwing it away, baby,
All for some girl born yesterday.
And what about your children, there's nothing to explain.
And now you're asking us to understand.
Well, I'm telling you we can't.
Why should we care about your reasons
When you're walking right out of our lives.

And I don't want to know.
I couldn't care less about your feelings.
Don't you know you should've cared more about mine.
And I don't want to know.
It really doesn't matter why you're leaving.
You should know you're really throwing away your life.
And I won't sympathize, you hurt me for the last time.
Got no tears left to cry.

Say goodbye to all the love and memories one last time.
One more look at all the love that won't be here in your life.
Say goodbye. I hope that you'll be happy.
Don't look back 'cause it'll be too late.
I've gone on with my life.

And I don't want to know.
I couldn't care less about your feelings.
Oh, don't you know you should've cared more about mine.
And I don't want to know.
It really doesn't matter why you're leaving.
You should know you're really throwing away your life.
And I won't, I won't, I won't sympathize, you hurt me for the very last time.
I got no tears left to cry.
And I don't want to know.
I couldn't care less about your feelings.
Don't you know you should've cared more about mine.
And I don't want to know.
It really doesn't matter why you're leaving.
You, you should know you're really throwing away your life.
And I won't, I won't, I won't sympathize, you hurt me, hurt me, hurt me the last time.
Got no tears left to cry. No, no.
