Lyrics
"DON'T TELL ME" Words and music copyright 2008, Tom Conway; music copyright Tom Conway and John Krauss, 2008
I WOKE UP JUMBLED-UP AH HAVE YOU STRAYED?
YOUR EYES SEEMED TO WANT TO SCREAM IT OUT LOUD
BEFORE YOU SAY A WORD, I'M AFRAID
YOU'LL JUST HAVE TO LEAVE ... A SHADOW OF DOUBT
DON'T TELL ME DON'T TELL ME DON'T TELL ME
I DON'T WANT TO KNOW
DON'T TELL ME DON'T TELL ME DON'T TELL ME
YOU KNOW BABY I AM NOT BLIND
WE BOTH KNOW EVERYBODY SLIPS
THIS WON'T DRIVE ME COMPLETELY OUT OF MY MIND
YOU'LL JUST HAVE TO LEAVE ... IT OFF OF YOUR LIPS
DON'T TELL ME DON'T TELL ME DON'T TELL ME
I DON'T WANT TO KNOW
DON'T TELL ME DON'T TELL ME DON'T TELL ME
I AM NOT AS GOOD AS YOU THINK, I MAY HAVE SLIPPED ON A WINK
DON'T TELL ME DON'T TELL ME DON'T TELL ME
I DON'T WANT TO KNOW
DON'T TELL ME DON'T TELL ME
I'M SO READY JUST TO LET IT GO.
DON'T TELL ME, I LOVE YOU AND I KNOW YOU LOVE ME
SO I'LL JUST GO RIGHT BACK TO SLEEP
AND WAKE YOU IN A WAY THAT MAKES YOU SEE
THERE ARE THINGS WE BOTH CANNOT KEEP
AND YOUR SECRETS WILL ALWAYS BE SAFE ... WITH ME
DON'T TELL ME DON'T TELL ME DON'T TELL ME
I DON'T WANT TO KNOW.
DON'T TELL ME DON'T TELL ME
I'M SO READY JUST TO LET IT GO.
DON'T TELL ME, I LOVE YOU AND I KNOW YOU LOVE ME
