Don't Pity Me - Thelma Houston

Don’t pity me, if you don’t want my love

'Cause I want your love, not your sympathy

Tell it like it is

If you don’t feel, yeah, what you felt at the start

Why live a lie just to spare my heart?

'Cause baby, I would rather see ya happy and free

Than for you to be uptight and stay here with me

Ain’t got no chains on you

So go on and do what you gotta do, yeah, mm

(Ooh, ooh…)

Don’t pity me, if you don’t want my love

'Cause I want your love, and not your sympathy

And don’t let me breeze, no no

(Let's split your love, if your heart isn’t there)

Hey, baby (ooh…) don’t you waste my time

Not if you really care

'Cause baby, when it comes to love there’s no in-between

Love is like a traffic light, it’s either red or green

So take my love with you

And go on and do what you gotta do, yeah

(Ooh…)

Don’t pity me, no no no, if you don’t want my love, no baby

'Cause I want your love, and not your sympathy

Tell it like it is

If you don’t feel, hear me now, what you felt at the start

Then why live a lie just to spare my heart???
