  • I wish I didn't love you so,
    My love for you,
    Should've ended long ago.

    I wish I didn't need your kiss,
    Why must your kiss,
    Torture me as long as this?

    [Chorus]
    I might be smiling by now,
    With some new, tender friend,
    Smiling by now,
    With my heart on the mend.

    But when I try,
    Something in my heart says,"No!",
    You're still there,
    I wish I didn't love you so.

    [Chorus]

    But when I try,
    Something in my heart says,"No!",
    You're still there,
    I wish I didn't love you so. Writer/s: Frank Loesser
