I Wouldn't Know
Reba McEntire · If You See Him [1998]
Everyone I see these days still ask me about you
I guess they got so used to us together
They assume that everything's ok and then I have to say...
[chorus]
I wouldn't know, I haven't seen him
I couldn't say, it's been awhile
I haven't thought about him lately
So I wouldn't know
I'm getting tired of people askin'
Why can't they just leave me alone
I couldn't care, I couldn't say, I wouldn't know
I don't get out anymore to our old stompin' grounds
Cause some old friend is bound to ask me
Why you're not around
Well, I just stay away so I don't have to say...
I wouldn't know, I haven't seen him
I couldn't say, it's been awhile
I haven't thought about him lately
So I wouldn't know
I'm getting tired of people askin'
Oh, why can't they just leave me alone
I couldn't care, I couldn't say, I wouldn't know
I'm getting tired of people askin'
Why can't they just leave me alone
Cause I couldn't care, I couldn't say, I wouldn't know
I couldn't care, I couldn't say, I wouldn't know
I guess they got so used to us together
They assume that everything's ok and then I have to say...
[chorus]
I wouldn't know, I haven't seen him
I couldn't say, it's been awhile
I haven't thought about him lately
So I wouldn't know
I'm getting tired of people askin'
Why can't they just leave me alone
I couldn't care, I couldn't say, I wouldn't know
I don't get out anymore to our old stompin' grounds
Cause some old friend is bound to ask me
Why you're not around
Well, I just stay away so I don't have to say...
I wouldn't know, I haven't seen him
I couldn't say, it's been awhile
I haven't thought about him lately
So I wouldn't know
I'm getting tired of people askin'
Oh, why can't they just leave me alone
I couldn't care, I couldn't say, I wouldn't know
I'm getting tired of people askin'
Why can't they just leave me alone
Cause I couldn't care, I couldn't say, I wouldn't know
I couldn't care, I couldn't say, I wouldn't know
I Wouldn't Know
