Lyrics

?Did Need To Know?
Ron Parks © 2006

(verse) You asked me how many women I had before I met you
I didn?t want to talk about it but baby you forced me to
When I said the number was about 203.
You lip just jumped out about a mile and now you won?t talk to me

(chorus) You didn?t need to know
Actually it was 204, I forgot about your momma.
You didn?t need to know
You didn?t need to know
What good did it do you?
You didn?t need to know
Your nosiness took you to a painful place
A place you didn?t need to go

(verse) The president had a little indiscretion with a female aide
I didn?t want to hear about it but the press wouldn?t let it fade
The prosecutor kept it stirred up; he seemed to love the strife
I wish that one of the names exposed, would have been his wife?s

(chorus) Cause he didn?t need to know
It was kind of funny though
The people didn?t need to know
I got tired of hearing about it
The prosecutor took it to a private place
A place we didn?t need to go
We?ve all got some things we don?t to talk about
I?m going to keep me bones in the closet
And not bring them out
Cause you don?t need to know

(monologue) Some of ya?ll out there are always trying to find out what everybody else is doing
Anyone that leaves their window open, you want to look in and take a peek
Trying to find out what they?re doing in there
Trying to see who?s a freak
You don?t need to know
And Sister Johnson
You?re the main instigator
You don?t talk about you and your private bible lessons with Brother Decatur
Over there doing all that hollering
I?ve never heard of any of that stuff you said being in the bible before.
