I don't want to see your face I don't want to hear your name I don't want to thing Just stay away baby Don't want to know if you're alright Or what you're doin' with your life Don't want to hear that you'll stay in touch maybe I'll get just fine So if you're goin' then darlin' goodbye, goodbye Don't call me in the middle of the night no more Don't expect me to be there Don't think that it will be the way it was before I'm not over you yet And I don't think I care And I don't want to be your friend I'll forget we ever met I'll forget I ever let Ever let you into this heart of mine baby You just gotta let me be You gotta keep away from me 'Cause all I want to be is just free of you baby Don't you come around And say you still care about me Go now, go now Don't call me in the middle of the night... You take it casually, and that's what's killing me I'll get by just fine So if you're goin' then darlin' goodbye, goodbye Don't call me in the middle of the night no more Don't expect me to be there Don't think that it will be the way it was before No, no baby Don't call me in the middle of the night no more I don't want to be your friend Don't think that it will be the way it was before I don't want to be your friend...
