I wish I didn't love you so
My love for you should have faded long ago

I wish I didn't need your kiss
Why must your kiss torture me as long as this

I might be smiling by now, with some new tender friend
Smiling by now with my heart on the mend

But when I try, something in that heart says "No"
You're still there, I wish I didn't love you so

(Instrumental Break)

I might be smiling by now, with some new tender friend
Smiling by now with my heart on the mend

But when I try, something in that heart says "No"
You're still there, I wish I didn't love you so
