Gladys Knight - I Don't Want To Know

Absolutely powerful. Impossible to listen to and not appreciate the depth of the emotions here

LYRICS - I DON'T WANT TO KNOW


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


Made you that promise


For better or worse I said I'd


Stand 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






And I don't want to know


I couldn't care less about your feelings


Don't you know


You should've cared 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 to cry






Gave you three hearts


One boy and one girl and a


Woman who loves you


We're sittin' here falling apart


All through your ins and outs


Your fears and all your doubts


And God knows there's 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


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






HOOK






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, 'cuz it'll be too late


I've gone with my life
