Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I've heard it all before
A love is a two way street
You have to give something to this relationship
I'm all out of understanding
It's always something with you
And all I've got to say is
[Verse 2]
Gave you the best, best years of my life and I
Gave you a woman who stood by your side
Through all 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
[Verse 3]
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?
[Verse 4]
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 leavin'
You should know
You're really throwin' away your life
And I won't sympathize
You've hurt me for the last time
Got no more tears left to cry
[Verse 5]
Baby, gave you three hearts
One boy and one girl and a
A woman who loves you
We're sittin' here falling apart
All through your ins and outs
Your fears and all your doubts
[Verse 6]
God knows there been doubts
But we've given you a home, and you're just
Throwing it away baby
All for some girl born yesterday
And what about your children?
There is nothing to explain
[Verse 7]
But still 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?
[Verse 8]
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 leavin'
You should know
You're really throwin' away your life
And I won't sympathize
You've hurt me for the last time
Got no more tears left to cry
[Verse 9]
Say goodbye to all the love and memories
One last time, one good look at all the love
That won't be 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
[Verse 10]
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 leavin'
You, you should know
You're really throwin' away your life
And I won't, I won't, I won't sympathize
You've hurt me, hurt me, hurt me for the last time
Got no tears left to cry, no no
