I'm coming undone I'm coming undone I'm coming un…
I don't wanna hurt nobody no
I don’t wanna hurt nobody
I don’t wanna hurt nobody no

In a cab on a weeknight
I'm coming undone I'm coming undone I'm coming un…
I don't wanna hurt nobody
Here it is
The end
Goodbye
My friend
I don’t wanna hurt nobody
I don’t wanna hurt nobody
