Don't Want A Heartache

(album: Melissa Manchester - 1979)

I don't care if you say that you need me
'Cause I see the way that you deal
Well you're talking from the top
But you're playing from the bottom
And I know that your love wasn't easy
Yes, but now I understand how
You're playing your hand
And it's time to reshuffle the cards

Don't want a heartache
Don't want a heartache
Don't want a heartache, I'm leaving
And I'm never coming back

For a while I believed that you loved me
I believed and I followed the rules
But you made a mistake if you
Thought my heart would break
Better find someone else to play the fool

Don't want a heartache
Don't want a heartache
Don't want a heartache, I'm leaving
And I'm never coming back

I opened my eyes and
I'm closing the door
I added it up and I'm changing the score

How could ya do it to me

Don't want a heartache
Don't want a heartache
Don't want a heartache, I'm leaving
And I'm never coming back
