Quit acting, so friendly
Don't nod, don't laugh all nicely
Don't think you'll up-end me
Don't sigh, don't sip your iced-tea
And don't say it's been a while
And don't flash that stupid smileDon't ask me
Don't ask me
Don't ask me
Ask me, ask me, how I've beenDon't think I've forgotten
You never liked that necklace
So cordial, so rotten
Kiss, kiss, let's meet for breakfast
Don't show up so on time
And don't act like you're so kindDon't ask me
Don't ask me
Don't ask me
Ask me, ask me, how I've beenDon't ask me, don't ask me outDon't sit there and play just
So frank, so straight, so candid
So thoughtful, so gracious
So sound, so even-handed
Don't be so damn benign
And don't waste my fucking timeDon't ask me
Don't ask me
Don't ask me
Ask me, ask me, how I've beenDon't ask
Don't ask
Don't ask
Don't ask
Don't, don't, don'tDon't ask me
Don't ask me
Don't ask me
Don't ask me
Ask me, ask me, how I've been
