Lyrics
I Don't Want To Know
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
They say what you don't know will never hurt you
What you don't see won't ever bother you at all
So if you see my sweetheart with another
Don't tell me you just make the teardrops fall
Let me go on thinking I'm the lucky one
And deep within her heart she loves me so
If there are unfaithful things that she has done
Please don't tell me I don't want to know
You may think you're doing me a favor
By telling me the things that you have seen
But you're just lighting fuses of destruction
You are just destroying my dreams
Of every reason to believe she's kind and true
And in my heart I think she loves me so
I'd be broken hearted if I heard from you
All the things that I don't want to know
[ fiddle - steel - piano ]
Let me go on thinking I'm the lucky one
And deep within her heart she loves me so
I'd be broken hearted if I heard from you
All the things that I don't want to know
