Oh, don't cross your fingers, cross your heart and soul

Don't ask me the question 'cos I just don't know

Sold by my intentions got my emotions on hold

So don't ask me why



You ask how I feel, and what it's like inside

I'm hot in pursuit, I'm bearing down on your hide

Involved in a recovery tryin' to save my pride

Don't ask me again



Wound up in circumstance beyond my control

Affairs of the heart no longer leave me cold

Oh, what a feeling such a long time ago

Don't ask me again



Get down baby, you're out of control

You leave be my side or you leave on your own

I gotta know what I should know,

Don't ask me again



So don't you ask me how I feel and what it's like inside

'Cos in the circumstances babe you don't mess with my pride

It's just recovery babe, just recovery babe

Meet me in the middle, please some give and take

Alternative arrangements are there to be made

A new proposition's not a piece of cake

So don't you ask me



Wound up in circumstance beyond my control

Affairs of the heart no longer leave me cold

Oh what a feeling such a long time ago

Don't ask me again
