I Don't Want To Know

Gladys Knight · Other Songs - Gladys Knight

I don't wanna do wrong

But you've been gone baby so long

And I hope I hope you'll understand

That it's really, it's really oh yes it is

It's out of my hands but I don't wanna do wrong

I don't wanna do wrong

But it's been so long it's been so long

I just can't help myself no

No, no, no



Since you been away

I been prayin' everyday

For God to make me strong till ya get back home

No, no, no, no I don't wanna do it

But my heart keeps tellin' me to

I know I tried with all of my might

Ah ha I think I've lost this fight



I don't wanna do wrong, I don't wanna do wrong

But it's been so long, it's been so long

I just can't help myself

I just can't ,no, no, no

Oh yeah, No I don't wanna

No I didn't wanna do it ooh, ooh, oh



But then again my dear

Time passed and I didn't hear

A comforting word from you to make me see

That you were still in love with me

So if by chance you've found ya' another girl

Love her and I wish ya' all the happiness in the world

'Cause I've found a new love and I can't break loose

I hope I can find happiness too



I don't wanna do wrong

I don't wanna do wrong

But it's been so long baby, baby, baby

I just can't help myself I just can't ,no, no, no

I just can't, I don't wanna do wrong

Don't wanna do wrong no

But it's been so long

Baby, baby, baby I just can't help myself

I just can't ,no, no, no
