lyrics
I’m growing convinced
some men like to listen
to the sounds of their own voices
wagging their tongues,
like shooting guns into the sky
and so when I get off stage
I take a bullet in the chest
as you tell me you like that one part
and then you pick apart the rest
thanks, thanks a lot
relieved you think I’m hot
I was worried sick
see it’s always nice to hear career advice
from a guy who’s a total stranger
but I do not give a damn
if you reaching for my hand
is coming from a good place
why don’t you keep it there
and do not share
your opinion or my space
CHORUS
cause if I didn’t ask
I don’t wanna know
thank ya much, thanks for coming to the show
but I’ve got people I can turn to
to show me ways that I can grow
and if I didn’t ask
that isn’t your task
I don’t wanna know
see it really ain’t that hard-
I can tune my own guitar
but thanks for your concern
and go ahead explain
you didn’t expect me to play well
that’s nice to learn
and I know I’m paying dues
but that aint an excuse
to talk to me like a I’m kid
cause you know it aint constructive
if you assume I know nothing
CHORUS
cause if I didn’t ask
I don’t wanna know
thank ya much, thanks for coming to the show
but I’ve got people I can turn to
to show me ways that I can grow
and if I didn’t ask
that isn’t your task
I don’t wanna know
*Here we go, boys* (4 women take goofy solos)
cause if I didn’t ask
I don’t wanna know
thank ya much, thanks for coming to the show
and thank you so much for the lower back touch
for the opinions on my wardrobe
but if I didn’t ask
that isn’t your task
I don’t want to know
if I didn’t ask
how’s this for a task
leave me alone

"If I could see you one last time
What difference would it make
Sometimes love gives what we want
Sometimes it just takes
Oh sometimes love gives what we want
Sometimes it takes"
