Didn't Want To Have To Do It

(album: Daydream - 1966)

Didn't wanna have to do it
Didn't wanna have to break your heart
Didn't wanna have to do it
I kept a-hoping from the very start
But you kept on a-trying
And I knew that you'd end up a-crying
And I knew I didn't wanna have to do it at all

Didn't wanna have to do it
Didn't wanna have to be the one to say it
Didn't wanna have to do it
I kept a-hoping there'd be something to delay it again
Yeah, but then
No, I didn't wanna have to be the one to say "The end"


Was a time that I thought our love could fly
and never never fall
Why should I suppose we were never really meant
to be close to each other at all
No, I...

Didn't wanna have to do it
Didn't wanna have to be the one to say it
Didn't wanna have to do it
I kept a-hoping there'd be something to delay it again
Yeah, but then
No, I didn't wanna have to be the one to say "The end"
No no, not the end, no no no
