Joe Jackson Don't Ask Me song lyrics

I got ideas but I don't know it all

And when I speak you know my voice is small

And when I'm walking down the street

I never smile at folks I meet

'Cause I know they won't smile at me

Now ask yourself why this should be

But if you want the answers

If you want the answers

Don't ask me

If you want the answers

If you want the answers

Don't ask me

I got feelings but they don't count for much

And I shake my fist but I got no power as such

But if I tell you what I see

Don't throw my words right back at me

'Cause I can't shout and I can't moan

'Cause I got problems of my own

But if you want the answers

If you want the answers

Don't ask me

If you want the answers

If you want the answers

Don't ask me

Someday soon I gotta learn enough

To justify my actions

Until then I want you all to try

To share my gut reactions

Gut reactions

But if you want the answers

If you want the answers

Don't ask me

If you want the answers

If you want the answers

Don't ask me
