I don't wanna know, know, know, know
Who's taking you home, home, home, home
And loving you so, so, so, so
The way I used to love you, no
I don't wanna know, know, know, know
Who's taking you home, home, home, home
And loving you so, so, so, so
The way I used to love you, oh
I don't wanna know
Wasted
And the more I drink, the more I think about you
Oh, no-no, I can't take it
Baby, every place I go reminds me of you
Do you think of me, of what we used to be?
Is it better now that I'm not around?
My friends are actin' strange, they don't bring up your name
Are you happy now? Are you happy now?
I don't wanna know, know, know, know
Who's taking you home, home, home, home
And loving you so, so, so, so
The way I used to love you, no
I don't wanna know, know, know, know
Who's taking you home, home, home, home
And loving you so, so, so, so
The way I used to love you, oh
I don't wanna know
And every time I go out, yeah
I hear it from this one, hear it from that one
That you got someone new, yeah
I see, but don't believe it
Even in my head, you're still in my bed
Maybe I'm just a fool
Do you think of me? Of what we used to be?
Is it better now that I'm not around?
My friends are actin' strange, they don't bring up your name (Yeah mm)
Are you happy now? Are you happy now? (Mm)
I don't wanna know, know, know, know
Who's taking you home, home, home, home
And loving you so, so, so, so

I don't wanna know, know, know, know
Who's taking you home, home, home, home
And loving you so, so, so, so
The way I used to love you, oh
I don't wanna know
No more, please stop
No more hashtag boo'd up screenshots
No more trying to make me jealous on your birthday
You know just how I make you better on your birthday, oh
Do he do you like this, do he woo you like this?
Do he lay it down for you, touch you, pull you like this?
Matter of fact, never mind, we gon' let the past be
May be his right now, but your body's still with me, whoa
I don't wanna know, know, know, know
Who's taking you home, home, home, home
And loving you so, so, so, so
The way I used to love you, no
