I Don’t Want To Hear (no lie)

I Don’t Want To Hear (no lie)

I’ve been calling you on the telephone.

Your voice comes on, saying you’re not at home
“Leave a message please, and I’ll return your call”

It’s now going on two weeks, and not a ring at all.
If you’re calling it quits, girl, I can take it
If you’re trying to think of a cover story
To ease your mind, baby, don’t worry

(cause) I don’t want to hear, no lie
I don’t want to hear, no lie
Just let that thought in your mind die
I don’t want to hear, no lie

I was a good lover to you

There was nothing in this world
That I wouldn’t try to do for you
I would go without things I needed for myself,

baby, just to please you
Girl, I was going to pop the [big] question,
But now, it’s on hold, because of our shady relation

If you’re calling it quits, girl, I can take it
If you’re trying to think of a cover story
To ease your mind, baby, don’t worry

(cause) I don’t want to hear, no lie
I don’t want to hear, no lie
Just let that thought in your mind die
I don’t want to hear, no lie

I don’t want to hear, no lie
I don’t want to hear, no lie
Just let that thought in your mind die
I don’t want to hear, no lie

I only have a few seconds left, to say,
What I have to say, to you, on your answering machine,
And girl, I’ll keep it clean

Love has no guarantee, but in me baby, you had a true devotee
Love has no guarantee, but in me baby, you had a true devotee
