Lyrics for Please Don't Ask

Ooh please don't ask me how I feel, I feel fine Oh I cry a bit, I don't sleep too good, but I'm fine When can I see you? When can I touch you? Again and again I ask myself was I wrong? Oh but time's a healer, and heaven knows I've been strong Maybe we could try Maybe we would work this time Oh I can remember when it was easy to say I love you But things have changed since then, now I really can't say if I still do But I can try Cos I know the kids are well, yes you're a mother to the world Oh but I miss my boy I hope he's good as gold But enough of me, tell me how are you? You look good Oh you've lost some weight I can see, your hair looks nice, you look good Maybe we should try, don't say it! I know why But y'know, I can remember when it was easy to say I love you But things have changed since then, now I really can't say if I still do But I can try Cos I know the kids are well, yes you're a mother to the world But I miss my boy Oh I hope he's good as gold
