Karen:
I wish you were a bad man
I wish you made it easier
I wish you'd done something unforgivable 'Cause holding onto you is that all I can do until
I learn the hands around my throat are my own Don't let me know if it hurts
If it hurts you
I don't want to be your friend that you turn to
That you won't pull me close
But you can't let me go
Don't let me know
Don't let me know
Don't let me know
Don't let me know

Karen & Jimmy:
I wish I never met you
Now I gotta forget again
I wish you didn't know me
So damn well
Mmmmm.... Don't tell me that you're scared
Every time that I'm not [she isn't] there
Don't you open up my heart again

Karen:
Oh, don't let me know if it hurts
If it hurts you
I don't want to be your friend that you turn to
That you won't pull me close
But you can't let go
Don't let me know
Don't let me know
Don't let me know
Don't let me know If you think there's a chance you can fall again
That you've tried and you've failed to stop loving me

Karen & Jimmy:
Don't let me know if it hurts
If it hurts you
I don't want to be your friend that you turn to
That you won't pull me close
But you can't let go

Karen:
Don't let me know
Don't let me know
Don't let me know

Jimmy:
Don't let me know

Your dirty kiss, you tried to pull me right in
Your little tricks, you're used to winning
You play your part - dancer in the dark
Saying anything to try and steal away a heart

Now you got her, she's lying up in your bed
Don't seem to stop ya, you keep on calling
You're out of line, waster of my time
I just want to know how you can fall asleep at night

Hey, baby, you're just a pretender
I'm not crazy, should've known much better
Whatever you do, always twisting the truth
Well the table's 'bout to turn back right back on you

You must be drunk, did you forget your way home?
I'm not the one who's scared of being alone
Got me confused with someone who needs you
Might be the joker but I'm nobody's fool

Hey, baby, you're just a pretender
Don't mistake me, you might think you're clever boy
Whatever you do, always twisting the truth
Well the table's 'bout to turn back right back on you

Take all your life on somebody else
I got more strength, got more pride in myself
So, what now, who you gonna mess around?
I can tell you right now - ain't gonna be me

Hey, baby, you're just a pretender
I'm not crazy, should've known much better
Whatever you do, always twisting the truth
Well the table's 'bout to turn back right back on you

Well the table's 'bout to turn back right back on you
