“I Don’t Want to Talk About It” is a song written by Danny Whitten. It was first recorded by Crazy Horse and issued as the final track on side one of their 1971 eponymous album. It was Whitten’s signature tune, but gained more fame via its numerous cover versions, especially that by Rod Stewart.
[Verse 1: Lee]
I can tell by your eyes that you've probably been crying forever
And the stars in the sky don't mean nothing to you, they're a mirror
[Chorus]
I don't want to talk about it, how you broke my heart
If I stay here just a little bit longer
If I stay here, won't you listen to my heart, whoa, heart?
[Verse 2: Lee]
If I stand all alone, will the shadows hide the colors of my heart
Blue for the tears
Black for the night's fears
The star in the sky don't mean nothing to you, they're a mirror
[Chorus (w/ Lee)]
I don't want to talk about it, how you broke my heart
If I stay here just a little bit longer
If I stay here, won't you listen to my heart?
Oh, my heart
Oh, my heart
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus: Lee]
I don't want to talk about it, how you broke this old heart
If I stay here just a little bit longer
If I stay here, won't you listen to my heart?
Oh, my heart
Oh, my heart
My heart
