Don't wanna love you
Don't wanna touch you
Don't wanna kiss you
Don't wanna miss you

Don't want your name or your number
'Cause I don't wanna give you a call
Don't wanna end up a lover
Oh, I don't wanna know you at all

Because you've all seen my finest qualities
You mess up everything that you ever touch
Because it won't be long before you do something wrong
And I won't stick around and be dogged, that's why I

(Don't wanna love you)
I don't wanna love you
(Don't wanna want you)
Oh no
(Don't want you near my heart)
I don't want you near my heart

(Don't wanna kiss you)
(Turn around and miss you)
(Stop me baby, before I start)

I never wanna see you near my heart
(Don't wanna love you)
No, I don't
(Don't wanna want you)
I really don't wanna want you
(Don't want you near my heart)
I don't want you near me

I never wanna see you near my heart
(Don't wanna kiss you)
No, I don't
(Don't wanna miss you)
I really don't wanna miss you
(Stop me baby, before I start)

Don't wanna be like the others
'Cause I don't wanna end up alone
Won't let you walk on my feelings
I see to you it doesn't matter that you can do me wrong

You know I heard everything 'bout your history
Only a fool would fall in love with you now, yeah
But boy, I just don't think that you'd be, be good for me
And I won't stick around and be dogged

(Don't wanna love you)
I don't wanna love you
(Don't wanna want you)
Oh no
(Don't want you near my heart)
I don't want you near my heart

(Don't wanna kiss you)
(Turn around and miss you)
(Stop me baby, before I start)

I never wanna see you near my heart
(Don't wanna love you)
No, I don't
(Don't wanna touch you)
I really don't wanna want you
(Don't want you near my heart)
I don't want you near me

I never wanna see you near my heart
(Don't wanna kiss you)
No, I don't
(Don't wanna miss you)
I really don't wanna miss you
(Stop me baby, before I start)
Stop me baby, before I start

Don't wanna love you
Don't wanna touch you
Don't want you near my heart

Don't wanna kiss you
Don't wanna miss you
Don't want you near my heart

You know I heard everything 'bout your history
Only a fool would fall in love with you now
Oh boy, I just don't think that you'd be, be good for me
And I won't stick around and be dogged, that's why I

(Don't wanna love you)
Don't wanna love you
(Don't wanna want you)
Don't wanna want you
(Don't want you near my heart)
I don't want you near my heart

(Don't wanna kiss you)
Don't wanna kiss you
(Turn around and miss you)
Turn around and miss you
(Stop me baby, before I start)
I don't want you near

I never wanna see you near my heart
(Don't wanna love you)
No, I don't
I really don't wanna want you
(Don't want you near my heart)

I never wanna see you near my heart
(Don't wanna kiss you)
No, I don't
I really don't wanna miss you
(Stop me baby, before I start)

I don't want you
(Don't wanna love you)
I don't want you
(Don't wanna want you)
No
(Don't want you near my heart)

I don't want you
(Don't wanna kiss you)
