I Don't Want to Know

You've seen him on the street today

Headin' for some sleaze cafe

He wasn't alone

He wasn't alone

Some beauty hung onto his arm

I shouldn't need to bee alarmed, now

He's done it before

Yes, he's done it before

Where and how

I don't want to know

You think she's one of his old flings?

Some fiery-lookin' kind of dane?

You found her dull, but just the same

She stole the show

I don't want to know

Isn't it a cryin' shame

He wouldn't mention any names?

Afraid I couldn't stand the pain

Or take a blow

Well, I don't want to know

You've seen him on the downtown side

Drinking hard and acting wild

He was not alone

Not on his own

You say he looked a sorry sight

You know he's had another fight

Well, he's done it before

Yes, he's done it before

Where and how

I don't want to know

A smile breaks on your poker face

Tells me you're gonna throw the Ace of Spades

Drop it, and watch me fall on evil days

And let me go

No, I don't want to know

Why don't I try to understand?

He's just as weak as any other man

He'll come back to me in the end

Now, isn't that so?

I don't want to know
