For you - you know who you are

Especially for those who feel that love in any form, freely given, is a burden too heavy to bear,
those too scared and scarred to put themselves out there,
and for me. Because I didn't have the words... but Etta did.

Listen well.

-Asha

"I Don't Want It" - sung by Etta James, The Chess Box

I can't understand (I don't want it)
The way that you act (I don't want it)
You give me your love (I don't want it)
and then you take it all back (I don't want it)

I know everyone (I don't want it)
is somebody's fool yeah (I don't want it)
You broke my heart (I don't want it)
and every, every rule yeah (I don't want it)

Now if this is love (don't want it, don't want it)
that you're giving me (don't want it, don't want it)
Then uh-uh, I don't want it (don't want it, don't want it)
I don't want it (don't want it, don't want it)

Oh, ooh, I've been a fool (I don't want it)
In the biggest kind of way yeah (I don't want it)
To think that you could ever (I don't want it)
belong to me (I don't want it)

When I know (I don't want it)
I'm no closer to your heart (I don't want it)
Then the sky is right now (I don't want it)
to the sea (I don't want it)

Oh you come to me (I don't want it)
When things go wrong (I don't want it)
I'm just a shoulder (I don't want it)
For you to cry on (I don't want it)

You only want me (I don't want it)
Only when you need me (I don't want it)
And all I ever get (I don't want it)
Is just a little bit of sympathy! (I don't want it)

Now if this is love (don't want it, don't want it)
That you're giving me (don't want it, don't want it)
Uh-uh, uh-uh I don't want it (don't want it, don't want it)
I don't want it (don't want it, don't want it)

Life without love (I don't want it)
Is not what I see (I don't want it)
And I can get a smile (I don't want it)
From any stranger on the street (I don't want it)

Oh my love, I don't want it.
