[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
