I don't care what you've said, and I mean it
I don't care what you've shared, 'cause I've seen it
Who's to judge if you're wrong? This is a bad time
Just as long as you break his heart and not mine

Tell him you're a liar, tell him I'm a saint
Say it's much too early, or just too late
Tell him that you're weak, beg him to be strong
Say you're very sorry but you were wrong

[Chorus]
Do I have to? Don't say!
Do I need to love you?
Do I have to? Don't say!
Do I need to love you?

It's a fatal mistake, and you know it
That you're dying to make; you'll pay for it
It's already too late, go on, admit it

Tell him it's a problem, tell him it's too hard
Say you've phoned your best friend and Scotland Yard
Swear that there'll be murder, tell him that I'm ill
Say you know it's blackmail, but that don't kill

Do I have to? Don't say!
Do I need to love you?
Do I have to? Don't say
That I need to love you?
Do I have to? Oh, don't say!
Do I need to love you?
Do I have to? Don't say
Do I need to love you?

I know what you assume about me
I hurt, but do I have to bleed?

[Chorus: x2]

Do I have to?
Do I have to?
Don't say
Do I have to?
Love you?
