Better Not Ask Me
Composer(s): Shel Silverstein
Performer(s): Shel Silverstein



Hey, the truth might hurt so I'm tellin' you now
That you better not ask me.
Hey, you better not ask me where I been all night
Why my eyes are shinin' and my spirit is flyin'
You better not ask if I been doin' right 
Or I just might tell you
And you better not ask me 'bout the girls I used to know
And days I used to run around before I ever met you
You better not ask how they compare to you
Or I just might tell you
And you better not ask me if I'm satisfied
With the way you've been givin' me what you call lovin'
Better not ask me 'bout the times I cried 
Or I just might tell you
So keep on doin' what you're doin' 
And if you should see me straight
Well, don't you ask, baby
Just let it pass, baby
And maybe it'll go away...
But I don't doubt it
You better not ask me if I'm gonna stick around
Or pack up all my bags and find another pretty city
You better not ask me who it is I found
Or I just might tell you
