Etta James
I Don’t Want It
[Verse 1]
I can't understand
The way that you act
You give me your love
And then you take it all back
[Verse 2]
I know everyone
Is somebody's fool, yeah
You broke my heart
And every every rule, yeah
[Chorus]
Now if this is love
That you're giving me
Uh-uh, I don't want it
(Don't want it, don't want it)
I don't want it
(Don't want it, don't want it)
[Verse 3]
I've been a fool in the biggest kind of way, yeah
To think that you could ever belong to me, yeah
When I know I'm no closer to your heart
Than the sky is right now to the sea
[Verse 4]
Oh, you come to me, yeah
When things go wrong
I'm just a shoulder
For you to cry on
[Verse 5]
You only want me
Only when you need me
All I ever get
Is just a little bit of sympathy
[Chorus]
Now if this is love
That you're giving me
Uh-uh, uh-uh I don't want it
(Don't want, it don't want it)
I don't want it
(Don't want it, don't want it)
Life without love
(Don't want it, don't want it)
Is not what I see
(Don't want it, don't want it)
But I can't get a smile
(Don't want it, don't want it)
From any stranger on the street
(Don't want it, don't want it)
Oh, love
(Don't want it, don't want it)
Don't want it, don't want it
(Don't want it, don't want it)
