Don't Ask Me Songtext

von Polly Paulusma

Are you saying I've got to sit here
And watch all your lights turn cold?
Pack my bag of good intentions
In the boot of growing old
Are you saying my hand can't hold back
The tsunami rolling in?
The only power at my disposal
Is to choose which way to swim
I'm sure I knew it on the day I was born
But time has misted up my memory
All I know is that I know nothing
So don't ask me
No, don't ask me
I've been late to learn a lesson
Some things are best left unsaid
But love has polished the connection
Between my big mouth and my head
I'm sure I knew it on the day I was born
But time has misted up my memory
All I know is that I know nothing
So don't ask me
I've got trouble enough keeping my own nose clean
Each day's a twisting path with dangers I can't foresee
I'd better mind my own affairs
Trust those I love to mind theirs
I'm gonna shut my eyes and count to one, two, three
So I watch the wave approaching
Rising deadly up the sands
And I'll smile in all the right places
And sit upon my hands
I'm sure I knew it on the day I was born
But time has misted up my memory
All I know is that I know nothing
All I know is that I know nothing
All I know is that I know nothing
So don't ask me
