Didn't Want to Have to Do It - John Sebastian, Arlen Roth

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-hopin' from the very start

But you kept on a-tryin'

And I knew that you’d end up a-cryin'

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-hopin' there’d be somethin' 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-hopin' there’d be somethin' 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
