Better Not Ask Me

(Hey the truth might hurt so I'm tellin'you now that you better not ask me) Hey you better not ask me where I been all night Why my eyes are shinin'and my spirit is flyin' You better not ask if I been doin'right or I just might tell you And you better not ask me bout the girls I used to know And days I used to run around before I ever met you You better not ask how they compare to you or I just might tell you And you better not ask me if I'm satisfied With the way you've been givin'me what you call lovin' Better not ask me bout the times I cried or I just might tell you So keep on doin'what you're doin'and if you should see me straight Well don't you ask baby just let it pass baby And maybe it'll go away but I don't doubt it You better not ask me if I'm gonna stick around Or pack up all my bags and find another pretty city You better not ask me who it is I found or I just might tell you
