I Don't Wanna Go on with You like That è un brano composto ed interpretato dall'artista britannico Elton John; il testo è di Bernie Taupin.

Il brano

Proveniente dall'album del 1988 Reg Strikes Back, si caratterizza come una canzone di chiaro stampo pop rock, dall'andatura veloce, trascinante e ritmata. Elton suona delle tastiere (una tastiera Roland è in effetti evidente nel videoclip della canzone), mentre sono presenti Charlie Morgan alla batteria e David Paton al basso. Fred Mandel è messo in evidenza ai sintetizzatori; Davey Johnstone suona la chitarra, e si cimenta anche ai cori insieme a Dee Murray e a Nigel Olsson. Il testo di Bernie (alla lettera Non Voglio Più Andare Avanti Così Con Te) parla della fine di una relazione amorosa.

I Don't Wanna Go On With You Like That, distribuita come singolo, ebbe un grandioso successo: divenne uno dei brani più trasmessi dell'estate, raggiungendo una #30 UK e addirittura una #2 USA (divenne anche l'ottavo singolo di Elton a conseguire una #1 nella classifica adult contemporary^[1]). Vennero distribuiti anche dei remix e una versione promo con tracce solo voce e piano, oltre a un 12" su vinile blu (molto raro e ricercato), sempre in versione promo^[2].

La canzone è stata eseguita anche parecchie volte live: una performance particolarmente memorabile è quella contenuta nell'album One Night Only del 2000.
