You Don't Have To Tell Me

You don't have to tell me

That you're goin' 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 at your door

This aint the first time

You know we've been there before

I only call 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's been too many things we've been fakin'

You don't have to play no games

Or think of reasons to call me names

It's the last call that I'm makin'

(And I'm makin' it!)

Baby don't mislead me

Just tell me how you feel

Well, if you don't need me

Then it's no big deal

O.k., I'm lyin' right through my teeth

And I'm dyin' underneath

Let's get together, oh baby please

Let's get together, I'll make it on my knees

If it's all over there's no need to cry

All you have to tell me is goodbye
