You've seen him on the street today

Heading for some sleaze caf'{e}

He wasn't alone

He wasn't alone

Some beauty hung onto his arm

I shouldn't need to be alarmed

He's done it before

He's done it before

Where and how?

I don't want to know

You think she's one of his old flames

Some firey-looking kind of dame

You found her dull but just the same

She stole the show

I don't want to know

You've seen him on the downtown side

Drinking hard and acting wild

He was not alone

Not on his own

You say he looked a sorry sight

You know he's had another fight

He's done it before

Yes, he's done it before

Where and how?

I don't want to know

A smile breaks on your poker face

Tells me you're gonna throw the Ace of Spades

Drop it, and watch me fall on evil days

And let me go

I don't want to know

Why don't I try to understand

He's just as weak as any other man

He'll come back to me in the end

Isn't that so?

I don't want to know
