[Intro]
Yeah, yeah
See I’ve been thinkin’ lately, baby
I don’t wanna hurt you baby, no more

[Verse 1]
I see you walking over there with all your friends
Eyein’ me down
But remember what you said to me, to me
We’ve been on and off for a couple months now
Feeling okay ’bout it all
But baby somehow
You keep coming back to me (leave me)

[Pre-Chorus]
The last thing I wanna do is leave again and end up bringing you down
And you can’t just come around
I don’t wanna keep playing these games
I’ve broken your heart and caused you so much pain
And all I’ve gotta say is

[Chorus]
I don’t wanna hurt you baby
I don’t wanna hurt you baby, no more
So it’s best that we move on (yeah)
I don’t wanna hurt you baby
I don’t wanna hurt you baby, no more

[Verse 2]
Girl, even though you do it better than anyone else
Staying with me ain’t no good for your health
Made lots of mistakes, so I’m not the only one, don’t have to be this way
That way I don’t have to explain why
For all it’s worth, at least we give it a try
Please believe me, ’cause

[Pre-Chorus]
The last thing I wanna do is leave again and end up bringing you down
And you can’t just come around
I don’t wanna keep playing these games
I’ve broken your heart and caused so much pain
All I’ve gotta say is

[Chorus]
I don’t wanna hurt you baby
I don’t wanna hurt you baby, no more
So it’s best that we move on (yeah)
I don’t wanna hurt you baby
I don’t wanna hurt you baby, no more

[Refrain]
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Yeah,yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Yeah,yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

[Bridge]
It breaks my heart when you once said that
“You’re my one and only
And I’ll love you 'till day is done
You’re the one that makes me ha-happy”
God, what have I done?

[Chorus]
I don’t wanna hurt you baby
I don’t wanna hurt you baby, no more
So it’s best that we move on (yeah)
I don’t wanna hurt you baby
I don’t wanna hurt you baby, no more

[Outro]
I don’t wanna hurt you baby
I don’t wanna hurt you baby, no more (no more, no more)
So it’s best that we move on (no more)
I don’t wanna hurt you baby
I don’t wanna hurt you baby, no more
So it’s best that we move on (yeah)
I don’t wanna hurt you baby

Charlie Puth is an American singer-songwriter who started by making and covering songs on his YouTube channel. His big break came when he was featured on the Furious 7 song “See You Again,” which he had written for a friend who passed away in a similar accident. The song reached #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 and stayed there for twelve weeks, becoming the longest-running rap number one along with Eminem’s “Lose Yourself.” The song’s iconic music video was also the most viewed video on all of YouTube for a short amount of time when it passed PSY’s “Gangnam Style” in July 2017.

His first project, The Otto Tunes, was released in 2010, with the title being a play on his middle name, Otto, and autotune. His second release, Ego, was also self-produced and dropped in October 2013.

His major-label debut Nine Track Mind was released January 29, 2016, and lead single “Marvin Gaye” with Meghan Trainor topped the charts in the UK and reached the top twenty-five in the US, peaking at #21. His next single “One Call Away” fared even better, hitting #12 in the US and establishing Puth as a full-blown star as opposed to a two-hit wonder. A deluxe edition of the record was released in November 2016.
