You Don't Have To Tell Me

(álbum: The Partridge Family Sound Magazine - 1971)

You don't have to tell me that you're going out
You don't wanna see me is what it's all about
I know you're needed and wanted badly
East and west of the Mississippi

You don't have to tell me who's been knocking down your door
It's not the first time, no, we've been there before
I only called you to let you know
I haven't seen you and I miss you so

You don't have to stand there and tell me that you love me or anything

There've been too many things we've been faking
You don't have to play no games or think of reasons to call me names
It's the last call that I'm making

Honey, don't mislead me, just tell me how you feel
And if you don't need me, hey, it's no big deal
OK, I'm lying right through my teeth and I'm dying underneath

Let's get together, oh, baby, please
Let's get together, I'm begging on my knees
If it's all over, there's no need to cry
All you have to tell me is goodbye
