Don't Ask Me Lyrics - Joe Jackson

I got ideas but I don't know it all 

And when I speak you know my voice is small 

And when I'm walking down the street 

I never smile at folks I meet 

'Cause I know they won't smile at me 

Now ask yourself why this should be 

But if you want the answers 

If you want the answers 

Don't ask me 

If you want the answers 

If you want the answers 

Don't ask me 

I got feelings but they don't count for much 

And I shake my fist but I got no power as such 

But if I tell you what I see 

Don't throw my words right back at me 

'Cause I can't shout and I can't moan 

'Cause I got problems of my own 

But if you want the answers 

If you want the answers 

Don't ask me 

If you want the answers 

If you want the answers 

Don't ask me 

Someday soon I gotta learn enough 

To justify my actions 

Until then I want you all to try 

To share my gut reactions 

Gut reactions 

But if you want the answers 

If you want the answers 

Don't ask me 

If you want the answers 

If you want the answers 

Don't ask me
