Story Behind The Song
Whew! My book "Especially Yours",which is in process of being published and released tells this delicate part of the story of when my autistic son hit puberty, had his first crush on one of his teachers, and took his frustration out on me. It was a brutally painful time of my life, and this song helped me to express my deep, pain and despair. Unfortunately, we never got to the studio to record it, so what you will hear is a live take of what we were about to record.

Lyrics
Verse
Don't wanna hear, those painful words no more
Dont wanna feel, that pain they bought before
Don't wanna see, your eyes looking at mine
While my heart breaks, loving you the whole time
Chorus
I don't want to feel it, baby
Don't hurt me no more
Verse
Don't understand why you dont understand
Things you say, I cannot comprehend
Don't you know that words can be like knives
And you cut me, can't wrap this 'round my mind
Chorus
I don't want to feel it, baby
Don't hurt me no more
I can't take it no more
Bridge
I'm tired, so tired
Of feeling inadequate
Tired, so tired
Well make up your mind
You should have told me that you're ready to go
Baby, go on ... but dont hurt me no more
Verse
Don't say you love me and I'm sorry
Can't rush my love, forgiveness in a hurry
I may forgive, I may never forget
But the truth is, what's left is just regret
Chorus
I don't want to feel it, baby
Don't hurt me no more
I can't take it no more
Ride --> Back to 3rd verse--> Chorus-->Adlib (I can't take it, I won't take it) -->slow end "Don't hurt me no more"
