Greg Brown I Don't Want To Be The One
I don't wanna be the one,
To make you worry, oh no.
I don't wanna be the one,
To make you cry.
I just wanna be the one,
To see you happy, oh yeah,
Even if I gotta be the one,
To say goodbye.
Oh well, darling,
I don't wanna be the one,
To keep you from living, oh no.
And I don't wanna be the one,
Who seems all wrong.
I just wanna be the one,
To see you loving, and giving,
Ohhh, even if I gotta be the one,
To say so long.
You know it's a big world,
And it's a short life,
And time will slip away,
Whether we're crying, or were laughing,
But I'd sure like to see you smile, today.
Oh well, darling now-
I don't wanna be the one,
Who asks for too much. Oh no.
I don't wanna be the one,
To make you blue.
I just wanna be the one,
With the right touch. Oh yeah.
Well, even if I gotta be
The one to say tootle do.
Tootle do, tootle do baby.
I don't wanna be the one
To say tootle do, my darling.
No, I don't want to be the one to say it.
Tootle do now.
I don't wanna be the one.
No, I don't wanna be the one.
