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
