"What I Want To Hear"
Music/Lyrics by John Kelly Wilson

Verse
So much to unwind
About the plan you kept inside
The you I never knew, has me so confused
Guess we were on a very short ride

The wit and way you play with words
Your skill I didn't seem to learn
Wish I'd figured it out, before today
And left before you could leave

Chorus
Don't tell me what I know now baby
Tell me what I want to hear
Softly say the things you used to whisper
When you wanted me near

Can we act like it's the beginning again
Just this one last time
Don't tell me what I know now baby
Tell me what I want to hear

Verse
You were one of those kind
That play games with the signs
A joy that comes for you from watching your loves
Being fooled by what's on your mind

No intentions to ever stay
But you're so good at how you play
Short term love never felt so good
While you take what you want then go your own way

Chorus
Don't tell me what I know now baby
Tell me what I want to hear
Softly say the things you used to whisper
When you wanted me near

Can we act like it's the beginning again
Just this one last time
Don't tell me what I know now baby
Tell me what I want to hear

Bridge
Guess I can't really judge you
Even though our time is done
All I wish is for your sake, baby
You heal the hurt you never show and someday know
A real love you don't run from

Guitar Break

Chorus
Don't tell me what I know now baby
Tell me what I want to hear
Softly say the things you used to whisper
When you wanted me near

Can we make believe it's the beginning again
Just this one last time
Don't tell me what I know now baby
Tell me what I want to hear
Tell me what I want to hear
Oh tell me, one more time, what I want to hear
