Lyrics:
I wish I didn’t love you so
My love for you
Should have faded long ago
I wish I didn’t need your kiss
Why must your kiss
Torture me as long as this?

I might be smiling by now
With some new tender friend
Smiling by now
With my heart on the mend
But when I try
Something in that heart says “No”
You’re still there
I wish I didn’t love you so

I should be smiling by now
With my heart on the mend
But when I try
Something in that heart says “No”
You’re still there
I wish I didn’t love you so


I Wish I Didn't Love You So

I Wish I Didn't Love You So

I Wish I Didn't Love You So
