I don't wanna know, know, know, know

Who's taking you home, home, home, home

And loving you so, so, so, so

The way I used to love you, no

I don't wanna know, know, know, know

Who's taking you home, home, home, home

And loving you so, so, so, so

The way I used to love you, oh

I don't wanna know

Wasted (wasted)

And the more I drink, the more I think about you

Oh no, no, I can't take it

Baby, every place I go reminds me of you

Do you think of me? Of what we used to be?

Is it better now that I'm not around?

My friends are actin' strange

They don't bring up your name

Are you happy now?

Are you happy now?

I don't wanna know, know, know, know

Who's taking you home, home, home, home

And loving you so, so, so, so

The way I used to love you, no

I don't wanna know, know, know, know

Who's taking you home, home, home, home

And loving you so, so, so, so

The way I used to love you, oh

I don't wanna know

And every time I go out, yeah

I hear it from this one, I hear it from that one

That you got someone new

Yeah, I see but don't believe it

Even in my head you're still in my bed

Maybe I'm just a fool

Do you think of me? Of what we used to be?

Is it better now that I'm not around?

My friends are actin' strange

They don't bring up your name

Are you happy now?

Are you happy now?

I don't wanna know, know, know, know

Who's taking you home, home, home, home

And loving you so, so, so, so

The way I used to love you, no

I don't wanna know, know, know, know

Who's taking you home, home, home, home

And loving you so, so, so, so

The way I used to love you, oh

I don't wanna know

Wasted (wasted)

And the more I drink, the more I think about you

Oh no, no, I can't take it

Do you think I should just go home without you?

I don't wanna know, know, know, know

Who's taking you home, home, home, home

And loving you so, so, so, so

The way I used to love you, no

I don't wanna know, know, know, know

Who's taking you home, home, home, home

And loving you so, so, so, so

The way I used to love you, oh

I don't wanna know, know, know, know (I don't wanna know)

Who's taking you home, home, home, home

And loving you so, so, so, so (and loving you so)

The way I used to love you, oh (the way I used to love you)

(You) and loving you so, so, so, so

The way I used to love you, oh

I don't wanna know.
