Now I'm sittin' home mindin' my business
Oh, tell me, what is this?
And why my phone just ringin' off tha hook
And if they talkin' 'bout my baby, look?
See, I ain't got a whole lotta time to deal with a whole lotta mess
Tellin' me my baby's in the clubs, and she's doin' that and doin' this
And if you took the same energy that you puttin' toward me
Then you would have far less time to worry about me and mine
And if she's doin' her thang in the streets
You ain't gotta run and tell me, I don't really wanna know
'Cause what I don't know won't hurt me
You ain't gotta run and tell me, I don't really wanna know
And now my patience is runnin' real thin
I'm hearin' talk from who I thought was my friends
Oh, but what they all fail to see is this is where I choose to be
And although I may seem blind, a step or two slow
Don't mean I can't feel, don't mean I don't know
And if I don't ask, you ain't gotta say
Go on, let her live, let the girl play
Been through so much with this woman
And I ain't always done what's right
But I know what you do in the dark
Oh, it sho' come through in the light, oh
And if she's doin' her thang in the streets
You ain't gotta run and tell me, I don't really wanna know
'Cause what I don't know won't hurt me
You ain't gotta run and tell me, I don't really wanna know
You think I don't know, I don't care
We've had a bumpy ride but now I'm happy here
And if she's doin' her and she can get away
Still takin' care of home, then what can I say?
Misery loves company, now they tryna comfort me
Bringin' trouble to my do' and I don't really wanna know
I'm good with it, let her go get it
I keep my eyes closed so I won't feel it
And if she's doin' her thang in the streets
You ain't gotta run and tell me, I don't really wanna know
'Cause what I don't know won't hurt me
You ain't gotta run and tell me, I don't really wanna know
