Don't Ask

You ask me what’s it like now
I’ve got no woman — don’t ask
You ask me how’s it feel to be alone
You’ve got no one — don’t ask
I’ll tell you what’s the story
Who’s the judge and who’s the jury — the past
Don’t ask me what it’s like to be alone at night
I hear a tapping on the wall
(I hear you knocking but ya)
I calm myself by leaving on the bathroom light
I know there’s no one out there
But that don’t really help at all
So tell me what’s it like now
You got nobody — don’t ask
Who looks after your health
I do it myself
How do you survive
I’m staying alive
Who looks after your home
I do it on my own
And how do you sleep
I sleep alone
Nobody told me that I had to live this way
Yea I could really have a ball
(you keep a knocking but ya)
But if I can’t have you I’d rather stay this way
And live in hope that maybe
One day you’ll take the time to call
So tell me what’s it like now
You’ve got no woman — don’t ask
Who looks after your health
I do it myself
How do you survive
I’m staying alive
Who looks after your home
I do it on my own
And how do you sleep
I sleep alone
I’ll tell you what it’s like now
I got no woman — don’t ask
