Oh, don't cross your fingers - cross your heart and soul
  Don't ask me the question - God, I just don't know
  This whole damn indenture put my emotion 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 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
  What a lot of feeling such a long time ago
  Don't ask me again
  Get down, baby - you're out of control
  You leave by my side or you leave on your own
  I don't 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
  In such a circumstance, 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 I've left to be made
  A new composition'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
  What a lot of feeling such a long time ago
  Don't ask me again
