Don't Ask - 10cc

You ask me what’s it like now

I’ve got no woman — don’t ask

You ask me how’s it feel to be alone

You’ve got no one — don’t ask

I’ll tell you what’s the story

Who’s the judge and who’s the jury — the past

Don’t ask me what it’s like to be alone at night

I hear a tapping on the wall

(I hear you knocking but ya)

I calm myself by leaving on the bathroom light

I know there’s no one out there

But that don’t really help at all

So tell me what’s it like now

You got nobody — don’t ask

Who looks after your health

I do it myself

How do you survive

I’m staying alive

Who looks after your home

I do it on my own

And how do you sleep

I sleep alone

Nobody told me that I had to live this way

Yea I could really have a ball

(you keep a knocking but ya)

But if I can’t have you I’d rather stay this way

And live in hope that maybe

One day you’ll take the time to call

So tell me what’s it like now

You’ve got no woman — don’t ask

Who looks after your health

I do it myself

How do you survive

I’m staying alive

Who looks after your home

I do it on my own

And how do you sleep

I sleep alone

I’ll tell you what it’s like now

I got no woman — don’t ask
