Don't Ask Why
Alan Jackson · Like Red on a Rose [2006]
Ask me any kind of question
Anything you want to know
Tell you all about my lovers
Heartaches and laughter from a long time ago.
Ask me if I'm finally happy
I've never really been before
Ever since you happened to me
I've told all my secrets
I don't have anymore.
Chorus:
Ask me now and I won't tell a lie
Ask me how I've been feeling inside
But when somebody loves you and you know that it's true
Don't ask why.
Ask me if I really mean it
When I tell you I love you
Ask me will I please repeat it
I'll tell you forever if you want me to.
Chorus:
Ask me now and I won't tell a lie
Ask me how I've been feeling inside
But when somebody loves you and you know that it's true
Don't ask why.
Don't ask why...
Anything you want to know
Tell you all about my lovers
Heartaches and laughter from a long time ago.
Ask me if I'm finally happy
I've never really been before
Ever since you happened to me
I've told all my secrets
I don't have anymore.
Chorus:
Ask me now and I won't tell a lie
Ask me how I've been feeling inside
But when somebody loves you and you know that it's true
Don't ask why.
Ask me if I really mean it
When I tell you I love you
Ask me will I please repeat it
I'll tell you forever if you want me to.
Chorus:
Ask me now and I won't tell a lie
Ask me how I've been feeling inside
But when somebody loves you and you know that it's true
Don't ask why.
Don't ask why...
