You Don't Want My Love was written for a boy who dumped me after I said I loved him (albeit a little flippantly). I really like the sound and love to sing this song live cause it encourages people to value themselves and what they bring to any relationship and not to waste their precious love on anyone who can't appreciate and reciprocate.
lyrics
YOU DON’T WANT MY LOVE
You don’t want my love no darling, nonono darling
No, no you don’t.
So I’ll just pack my bags now darling, my bags now darling
And I’ll go.
And I sure ain’t gonna come back once I am gone.
Cause I’ll be gone, gone, gone gone.
I’m not gonna take you back, no baby, nonono baby I won’t.
Cause you’ll just treat me bad now darling. We both know.
Well, if loving you is right, well I’d rather wrong.
Again I say if loving you is right well I’d rather be wrong.
I won’t cry no more no baby, nonono baby, no I won’t.
Cause you ain’t worth my water darling, my water darling
Yeah you’re a waste of my salt
You’ll miss my loving eyes once I have gone,
Cause I’ll be gone gone gone.
You don’t want my love.
