What You Don't Know

(album: All I Need - 1984)

(What I don't know won't hurt me)

Restrictions, you told me
There's some things I shouldn't ask you
Conditions, you said
What I don't know won't hurt me
Deception in your eyes
You tried but you couldn't hide it
Rejection, you said
What I don't know won't hurt me

Did you think that I'd be hanging around
Waiting for you just to let me down
I'm not the kind who likes to sit all alone
Don't you know that I've got
Some secrets of my own

What you don't know won't hurt you
What you don't know
What you don't know won't hurt you
I think you know what I'm talking about
Ask the question and I'll have to answer
And you'll find out what you don't know

You're unable to tell me
You smile when I ask about it
Betrayal, you said
What I don't know won't hurt me

Beside you, so easy
With your touch going straight to my head
I tried to believe
What I don't know won't hurt me

Into the shadows you would disappear
Did you think that I'd be waiting here
Now you wonder if there's something
That you don't know

This is not the way I want it to be
Love is turning me into a liar
Just say the word and I'll tell her goodbye
But for now I'll fight fire with fire

What you don't know
What you don't know won't hurt you
What you don't know
What you don't know won't hurt you

That's not the way it's supposed to be
Close your eyes and you'll never see
I'll be waiting, I'll be waiting
For you just to let me down
You let me down
What you don't know won't hurt you...
