I Don't Want You Lyrics
The Ramones
Lyrics
You said that you'd be true
Baby said that you'd be true
I don't care, I don't care
I don't care, I don't care
I don't want you
Don't want you
I don't want you anymore
You said that you'd be mine
Baby said that you'd be mine
I don't care, I don't care
I don't care, I don't care
I don't want you...
Don't want you I don't want you to stay
But I guess that it just can't be that way
You said that you'd be true
Baby said that you'd be true
I don't care, I don't care
I don't care, I don't care
I don't want you...
Don't want you...
I don't want you...
Don't want you...
I don't want you...
Don't want you...
