Please Don't Ask

(album: Duke - 1980)

Ooh please don't ask me how I feel, I feel fine
Oh I cry a bit, I don't sleep too good, but I'm fine
When can I see you?
When can I touch you?

Again and again I ask myself was I wrong?
Oh but time's a healer, and heaven knows I've been strong
Maybe we could try
Maybe we would work this time

Oh I can remember when it was easy to say I love you
But things have changed since then, now I really can't say if I still do
But I can try
Cos I know the kids are well, yes you're a mother to the world
Oh but I miss my boy
I hope he's good as gold

But enough of me, tell me how are you? You look good
Oh you've lost some weight I can see, your hair looks nice, you look good
Maybe we should try, don't say it! I know why

But y'know, I can remember when it was easy to say I love you
But things have changed since then, now I really can't say if I still do
But I can try
Cos I know the kids are well, yes you're a mother to the world
But I miss my boy
Oh I hope he's good as gold
