"But I Won't" Lyrics

(Paul Evans - Paul Parnes)

Out of words to say
I turned and walked away
Told her not to worry
I'd be back another day, but I won't.

When she sees we're through
I know what she'll do
She'll learn to forget me
And she'll find somebody new, but I won't.

I've loved some but she was my only lover
I pray I don't hurt her too much
My heart is through but my mind is over
And I can't help this longing for another woman's touch.

Mhm, time will help erase
The tears from her sweet face
If I do the thing I should
And clear out of this place, but I won't.

Mhm, no use foolin', I won't

--- Instrumental ---

But I won't, mhm, no I won't...
