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 indention got my motion 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
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 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 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 I've left to be made

A new composition's not a piece of cake
So don't chasten 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
