"I Really Don't Want To Know" lyrics

"I Really Don't Want To Know"
(with Gillian Welch)

How many arms have held you
And hated to let you go?
How many, how many, I wonder
But I really don't want to know

How many lips have kissed you
And set your soul aglow?
How many, how many, I wonder
But I really don't want to know

So always make me wonder
Always make me guess
And even if I ask you
Darling, please don't confess

Just let it remain your secret
But darling, I love you so
No wonder, no wonder, I wonder
No, I really don't want to know
