I Don't Wanna Hurt
About the single
On 25 January 2008, I Don't Wanna Hurt was released as the second single from Anouk's album Who's Your Momma. After the swinging and jazzy Good God, this second single showed a softer side of the album.
The single was released as a 3-track CD single in a cardboard sleeve. Besides the title track and an instrumental version of I Don't Wanna Hurt, it also includes a remix of the first single Good God by The Anonymous.
Even before its official release, I Don't Wanna Hurt had already become popular among fans. The song was shared on Anouk's MySpace page and was also available through download stores such as iTunes.
Unfortunately, no music video was made for I Don't Wanna Hurt. Despite this, the single performed well in the charts and became one of the successful releases from the Who's Your Momma era.

I threw them all away
This stop, stays the same
There's no need to talk it over
Don't let me get you down
Let's just move on
I am setting you free
'Cause I don't wanna hurt no more
No I don't wanna make you go through one more rainy day
No I don't wanna hurt no more
Strange enough I always knew
I'm taking off today
I am setting you free
The darkness you left in my soul
Do we know how much we've lost
Will the moon be shining as bright as before
And as I'm singing this song
The tears well up in my eyes I will
always wonder
Why I will never have the life I wanted
Now I'm letting it go
'Cause I don't wanna hurt no more
No I don't wanna make you go through one more rainy day
No I don't wanna hurt no more
There's not much more to say
It's too late now
I won't hurt no more
So why wait 'till morning comes
You've made it clear that it has been
'Only pain lovin' me
Things that we won't do for love
I am setting you free
'Cause I don't wanna hurt no more
No I don't wanna make you go through one more rainy day
No I don't wanna hurt no more
Strange enough I always knew
I'm taking off today
I am letting you go
Claiming that I'll do it but I don't
Knowing I'll do anything you want
Pretending I am someone that
I'm not
Good God my mind
Won't let me think right
I know you're trouble
But I'm determined to create these things
up in my head that never happened
In time I've gotta choose
Freedom or loyalty
Look at what you've done
What am I gonna do
Good God my mind
Won't let me think right
I know you're trouble
But I'm determined to create these things
up in my head that never happened
In time I've gotta choose
Freedom or loyalty
Look at what you've done
What am I gonna do
So now that you have made a mess of me
And showed me stars that I have never seen
I know its wrong why does it feel so right
You haven't got me yet
but you might
You're smiling back at me
I wanna do it
I wanna be with you let me get through it
Am I gonna make it back alive
When you show me all the things that you can do
