lyrics

Lying awake, watching the clock
Hear your car in the drive, key in the lock
Slip out of your clothes, slip into the bed
Well you don’t have to be so cold
‘Cause what’s written all over your face is so easily read
But I don’t need to know
I don’t need to know

Wherever you’ve been
Whoever you’re with
Whenever you go
I can hear it in your voice
Feel it in your touch
I can smell it on your clothes
And your eyes are begging to tell me
But I’m begging that you don’t
‘Cause I don’t need to know

Just wanna get back on your side
And if I gotta wait in line, this ain’t a matter of pride
I know it’s tearing you up, but it’s breaking me down
I hate seeing you so low
And you think you gotta let it out, but please don’t make a sound
‘Cause I don’t need to know
I don’t need to know

Wherever you’ve been
Whoever you’re with
Whenever you go
I can hear it in your voice
Feel it in your touch
I can smell it on your clothes
And your eyes are begging to tell me
But I’m begging that you don’t
‘Cause I don’t need to know

And I won’t ask, if you won’t tell
No I won’t ask, if you won’t tell

Lying awake, watching you sleep
I guess we all got a secret to keep
But I don’t need to know
I don’t need to know

Wherever you’ve been
Whoever you’re with
Whenever you go
I can hear it in your voice
Feel it in your touch
I can smell it on your clothes
And your eyes are begging to tell me
But I’m begging that you don’t
‘Cause I don’t need to know

I don't need to know
