I Don't Want To Know

You've seen him on the street today

Heading for some sleaze caf'{e}

He wasn't alone

He wasn't alone

Some beauty hung onto his arm

I shouldn't need to be alarmed

He's done it before

He's done it before

Where and how?

I don't want to knowYou think she's one of his old flames

Some firey-looking kind of dame

You found her dull but just the same

She stole the show

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

He's done it before

Yes, he's done it before

Where and how?

I don't want to knowA 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

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

Isn't that so?

I don't want to know
