I don't wanna be the one,
to make you worry, oh no.
I don't wanna be the one,
to make you cry.
I just wanna be the one,
to see you happy, oh yeah,
even if I gotta be the one,
to say goodbye.
Oh well, darling,
I don't wanna be the one,
to keep you from living, oh no.
And I don't wanna be the one,
who seems all wrong.
I just wanna be the one,
to see you loving, and giving,
Ohhh, even if I gotta be the one,
to say so long.
You know it's a big world,
and it's a short life,
and time will slip away,
whether we're crying, or were laughing,
but I'd sure like to see you smile, today.
Oh well, darling now--
I don't wanna be the one,
who asks for too much. Oh no.
I don't wanna be the one,
to make you blue.
I just wanna be the one,
with the right touch. Oh yeah.
Well, even if I gotta be
the one to say tootle do.
Tootle do, tootle do baby.
I don't wanna be the one
to say tootle do, my darling.
No, I don't want to be the one to say it.
Tootle do now.
I don't wanna be the one.
No, I don't wanna be the one.
