I Don’t Wanna Want You

Susan Cantey © 2005

 

I woke up from a dream, thought I smelt your cologne,

Must have been a bad dream, ‘cause I’m still alone,

Been getting some comfort since you’ve been gone,

Me and Jack Daniels are getting it on.

 

            I don’t miss your jokes or your silly alibis,

            I don’t miss your hugs and kisses or your big blue eyes,

            I don’t need your arms around me at night,

            Don’t miss your silhouette dancing in the candlelight,

I don’t wanna want you.

 

Nearly every evening on cable T.V.

I can find a romance and watch it in peace,

If I get lonely, I’ll go out on the town,

I don’t let old memories slow me down,

           

            I don’t miss your fireworks on Independence Day,

            Got no need for holding hands or rolling in the hay,

            I don’t miss our skinny dipping or sharing KFC,

            These days when I’m dining out, I’d rather eat Chinese,

            I don’t wanna want you.

 

INSTRUMENTAL BRIDGE

 

            I don’t miss your music or our picnics in the park,

            I don’t need “I love you”’s whispered in the dark,

            If I’m not asleep at night, it’s not because you’re gone,

            I just like to be awake so I can watch the dawn,

            I don’t wanna want you.
