(written by Paul Brady and Carole King)



Baby, I know something's wrong

'Cause I'm watching the things I say

And it's been this way for too long to be mistaken

I promise myself I won't hide

I'll face what the future brings

Then I let you walk on my pride

And I run from the truth inside

'Cause baby, baby



I don't want to be the one

To say the words 'it's over'

Once you let it out, it's done

There's no turning back

I don't want to let you go

Even though my heart cries

There's nowhere left to run

I don't wanna be the one

I don't wanna be the one



Sometimes a moment in time

Can speak like a thousand words

And love I thought was mine is nowhere

My head says I must be blind

But my heart is afraid to see

Maybe I'd rather be blind

I don't want to leave this love behind

Baby, baby



I don't want to be the one

To say the words 'it's over'

Once you let it out, it's done

There's no turning back

I don't want to let you go

Even though my heart cries

There's nowhere left to run

After all we've done

I don't wanna be the one

I don't wanna be the one



Baby, I don't want to lose your love

I don't want to be the one

I'm goin' crazy

I don't wanna be the one
