Lyrics
I Don't Want To Do This Anymore
It was early Sunday morning,
On the hottest day in August,
The summer sun had just started to rise.
He was driving his old Chevy,
Going west on Market,
When he stopped to wipe the tears out of his eyes.
And he said, "I don't want to do this anymore."
"I don't want to feel so broken hearted."
"If loving you can only be
A part-time thing, it ain't for me...
I don't want to do this any more."
Well he drove out to the beach,
Then out to Sunset Cliffs,
He stopped to look at the waves down on the shore.
He reached into the glove box,
Took out her faded picture,
The one he took in Nineteen ninety-four.
And he said, "I don't want to do this anymore."
"I don't want to feel so broken hearted."
"If loving you can only be
A part-time thing, it ain't for me...
I don't want to do this any more."
He turned the picture over,
To read the words she'd written,
The night that she had promised him forever.
"All my heart and all my soul,
Darling you have full control,
I promise you, that I will leave you never."
And he said, "I don't want to do this anymore."
"I don't want to feel so broken hearted."
"If loving you can only be
A part-time thing, it ain't for me...
I don't want to do this any more."
He turned the picture over,
To take one final look,
Then he tore it into strips from end to end.
He wiped a final tear away
Looked down at the waves again,
Then cast those strips and her into the wind.
And he said, "I don't want to do this anymore."
"I don't want to feel so broken hearted."
"If loving her can only be
A part-time thing, it ain't for me...
I don't want to do this any more.
I ain't gonna do this anymore."
