Didn't Want To Have To Do It

(album: 2 Shows Nightly - 1968)

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
