You know sometimes the truth can really really really hurt
I’m speaking from experience – I ain’t talking no dirt (chuckle)
I heard my lady talking to someone on the phone
I caould tell by their conversation she been doing me wrong

Oooh I been through this sooo many times before
But this time I’m not gonna let my feelings show

So I’m gonna
Ease back out oooh and close the door
And pretend I didn’t hear or see a thing
But right now I’m not read, I can’t face reality

I’m just not ready to face reality
No I’m not ready to face the pain – yeah

Anybody ever been in love, sure can understand now
It’s not that I’m such a weak man, no no no no
I can’t stop her if she wanna go
I’m gonna pretend like I just don’t know

In the meantime I’m just gonna ease back out
And close the door, and pretend I didn’t hear or see a thing no no no
Right now I’m not ready, I just can’t face reality

I’m just not ready – to face the pain
I don’t wanna face the pain
I wonder do you hear me - I’m not ready
I don’t wanna face the pain – to face the pain

Somebody help me …. In here

Whooo whoooa ooooh ewwww
I’m just not ready – to face the pain no---

It really hurts to love somebody
When you’re no longer in their heart
Just to keep her a little longer
I have to pretend and play the part yeah..
But letting her go ain;t go be easy
So I just pretend .. that shes still , she’s still pleasing
You know what I’m gonna do
I’m gonna (ease back out and close the door ) (repeated by back ground singers)
And pretend I didn’t hear or sing a thing no no no
I’m just not ready, ooh I’m not ready now , I’m not ready I’m not ready
(I don’t wanna face the pain) to face the pain .. nooooo
(I don’t wanna face the pain) I’m just not ready to face the pain

So you know what I’m gonna do
I’m gonna ease back out (Ease back out) oooh and close the door (and close the door)
And pretend I didn’t hear or sing a thing no no no
Ooh I’m not ready to face reality, I’m just not ready, I’m just not ready
(I don’t wanna face the pain) face the pain ooooo
(I don’t wanna face the pain) I’m just not ready to face the pain ooohh
Ease back out
Close the door (and close the door)
I’m gonna pretend I didn’t hear or see a thing no no no no no no
I’m not ready to face reality well well well well
I’m definitely not ready to face reality
(I don’t wanna face the pain)
