I Wouldn't Know

Michael Ball · Other Songs - Michael Ball

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

Then I have to say

I wouldn't know, I haven't seen her

I couldn't say, it's been a while

I haven't thought about her lately

So I wouldn't know

I'm getting tired of people asking

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 stomping ground

'cos some old friend is bound to ask

Why you're not around

Then I'll just stay away

So I won't have to say

I wouldn't know, I haven't seen her

I couldn't say, it's been a while

I haven't thought about her lately

So I wouldn't know

I'm getting tired of people asking

Why can't they just leave me alone

I couldn't care, I couldn't say, I wouldn't know
