Song Description

love gone bad makes woman decide not to love again

Lyrics

You ask my why I don't respond to you
Well it's a long story you can spare me from going through
It's just too soon and too painful to recall
My only comfort and protection is my wall
I tell you "NO" but you keep coming back again
Though I don't owe you an explanation
Against good judgment and reservation
I'll tell you what I tell to my friends.....

He was as straight-laced as a man can be.
I thought I'd found redemption finally.
He was so good, concealing his intent,
Swept me away in bittersweet torment.

I couldn't hold him when the world was falling down.
I was the last one he would want to have around.
But there I'd stand, my heart willing to give
And think my life almost unfit to live.

So I don't need your love to play me like a fool
And I don't need your touch when the night is cool
No I don't need your bad blood in my open wounds
And I don't need your love. There's nothing you can do.

You say you're different from my sordid past.
What you don't tell me I'm too afraid to ask.
I cannot trust your words to be the truth
And I won't demand you bear the weight of proof.

'Cause I don't need your love to play me like a fool
And I don't need your touch when the night is cool
No I don't need your bad blood in my open wounds
And I don't need your love. There's nothing you can do.

I been wanting love. I been dying, baby.
But when it comes around a fortress stands in my way.
And I'd tear it down. I been trying, baby.
But until I do I have to say....

I don't need your love!
