Lyrics

I know how you spent your time
Too many people know you weren't alone
Your after hours followed you home
Oh, I heard, he said
She was open all night
While I was away
You were open all night (open all night)
Don't ask me to tell you who told me
She was open all night (open all night)
While I was away
You were open all night (open all night)
Don't ask me to tell you who said
I got a lot of friends that I don't need
They say, "You'd rather hear it first from me"
Maybe I don't wanna hear it at all
It's too far to fall, so don't say
She was open all night
While I was away
You were open all night (open all night)
Don't ask me to tell you who told me
She was open all night (open all night)
Ooh, while I was away
You were open all night (open all night)
Don't ask me to tell you who said
(Don't ask me to tell you)
Baby, I don't wanna know
(No, I don't want to tell you)
Please, don't tell me, you don't have to say no more
(Don't ask me to tell you)
Don't ask me, girl, don't ask me, girl, ooh
(No, I don't want to tell you)
You were open all night
(Don't ask me to tell you)
I know how you spent your time
(No, I don't want to tell you)
Oh, they told me, you were getting outta line, oh
(Don't ask me to tell you)
Baby, it's too far to fall
(No, I don't want to tell you)
I don't wanna hear it at all, oh
Don't ask me to tell you
No, I don't want to tell you
Don't ask me to tell you
No, I don't want to tell you
Don't ask me to tell you
No, I don't want to tell you
Don't ask me to tell you
No, I don't want to tell you
Don't ask me to tell you
No, I don't want to tell you
