I Don't Wanna Fight Lyrics

I Don't Wanna Fight Song Lyrics


There's a pale moon in the sky
The kind you make your wishes on
Oh, like the light in your eyes
The one I built my dreams upon
It's not there any longer
Something happened somewhere and we both know why
But me, I'm getting stronger
We must stop pretending, I can't live this life

I don't care who's wrong or right
I don't really wanna fight no more
Too much talking, babe
Let's sleep on it tonight
I don't really wanna fight no more
This is time for letting go

I hear a whisper in the air
It simply doesn't bother me
Can't you see that I don't care
Or are you looking right through me?
It seems to me that lately (Seems to me that lately)
You look at me the wrong way and I start to cry
Could it be that maybe (Could it be that maybe)
This crazy situation is the reason why?

I don't care who's wrong or right
I don't really wanna fight no more
Too much talking, babe
Let's sleep on it tonight
I don't really wanna fight no more
Time for letting go
Oh, baby, don't you know
That I don't wanna hurt no more?
It's time, I'm walking, babe
Don't care now who's to blame
I don't really wanna fight no more
This is time for letting go

Hanging on to the past
It only stands in our way
We had to grow for our love to last
But we just grew apart
Oh, don't wanna hurt no more

Oh, baby, don't you know?
No, I don't wanna hurt no more
Too much talking, babe
Don't care now who's to blame
I don't really wanna fight no more
I don't care who's wrong or right
I don't really wanna fight no more
It's time, I'm walking, babe
So let's sleep on it tonight
I don't really wanna fight no more
This is time for letting go
No, I don't wanna hurt no more
Too much, hey, baby
Don't care now who's to blame
I don't really wanna fight no more
'Cause this is time for letting go

Let it go, let it go, let it go
Let it go, let it go, let it go
Hmm, so let it go

Annotations and Meaning:


This song by Tina Turner, "I Don't Wanna Fight," is a precise piece to touch on the emotional trauma felt by humans during the collapse of relationships. The exact lyrics of this song and its soulful delivery reflect the weariness and resignation of battling for what neither party wants to keep up.
The first lines of the song give a somber mood when it contrasts something bright in the sky of hope: the pale moon, to the light in the eyes of a loved one, from which the dreams were built long ago. This imagery is beautiful with the reek of loss of hope and the dreams slowly dying, which is so common a consequence of relationship struggles.

It is shown in the chorus, "I don't care who's wrong or right / I don't really wanna fight no more," where the singer needs to move on from the bickering and disagreements. The refrain has a universal undertone that reflects a plea not only for peace and understanding in a love relationship but that it extends to wider areas of conflict.

The song also speaks of the emotional toughness of the narrator, who admits to becoming stronger despite the conditions with the lines "But me, I'm getting stronger / We must stop pretending, I can't live this life." It corresponds to a growth move away from conflict towards self-awareness and strength that comes to a person on his own.

The following bridge, "Hanging on to the past / It only stands in our way / We had to grow for our love to last / But we just grew apart," touches the very crux of inevitability toward change and growth in relationships. This implies that the growth might not always be mutual or in a direction that favors the longevity of the relationship, hence forcing a necessary but painful decision to part ways.
