I wish I didn't love you so.

7   4   -5   5    5            
My love for you should

 4   -4 5   -4  4 4
have faded long ago.

7 -7   6 -6 -7  -6   -5    6
I wish I didn't need your kiss.

7    4    -5   5    5  4   -4 
Why must your kiss torture me

 5  -4   4  4
as long as this?

5   5   5  -7  -6 -7  -6
I might be smiling by now

 5    5    6  -5  6   -5
With some new tender friend--

-5  5  -5  5    
Smiling by now,

 5   5   -7   -6 -7   -6
with my heart on the mend.

 6   6   6  7   
But when I try,

-7    6   -6  -7   -6   -5    6
something in that heart says "no,"

 7      7      4
You're still there.

-5  5  4 -4  5   4   -4  4
I wish I didn't love you so.

--repeat, ending with 
-5  5  4  -4 5  -4   -6  7
I wish I didn't love you so
