Lyrics
You didn't answer my letter
Wouldn't knock on my door
Now you think I should be hungry
Well I'm not no more
I've been talkin' to an angel
But I'm finding it tough
He shows a little bit of Heaven
Then it's back in the rough
You hurt me
And I thought it was ... good
Don't love me so much - don?t love me so much
Don't love me so much - don?t love me so much
I tried to keep you away
While a broken heart mends
We tried bein' acquaintances
When we couldn't be friends
Well I wanted to live like
The song that we sang
I've been waiting since the big bang
(spoken)
All the excuses ... the nights that we fought
Battered with bruises and the lies that I bought
You were the teacher, so I know I've been taught
I learned my lesson but I must've forgot
Don't love me so much - don't love me so much
Don't love me so much - don't love me so much
