I Don't Want To Do It Lyrics

Looking back upon my youth--
The time I always knew the truth.
I don't want to do it.
I don't want to say goodbye.

To go back in the yard and play--
If I could only have another day.
I don't want to do it.
I don't want to make you cry.

To go back
On the hill beside the track
And try to concentrate.
All in all the places that I want to be,
No, it shows you that I could not wait.

So come back into my arms again.
This love of ours, it has no end.
I don't want to do it.
I don't want to make you cry.

I don't want to do it.
I don't want to say goodbye.

I don't want to do it.
I don't want to see you cry.

To go back
On the hill beside the track
And try to concentrate.
All in all the places that I want to be,
No, it shows you that I could not wait.

So come back into my arms again.
This love of ours, it has no end.
I don't want to do it.
I don't want to say goodbye.

I don't want to do it.
I don't want to say goodbye.

I don't want to do it.
I don't want to make you cry.

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

This song is about not wanting to die and leave his loved ones to cry. It reminds me so much of my father-in-law, who said the same thing when he passed. He was ready to die, but wasn't ready to break our hearts.
