I REALLY DON'T WANT TO KNOW (Don Robertson & Howard Barnes) 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. And 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, And always make me guess. Even if I ask you, Darlin', don't confess. No, you just let that remain your secret, 'Cause, darlin', I do love you so. How many, how many, I wonder, But I really don't want to know. How many, how many, I wonder, But I really don't want to know. [Recorded by Eddy Arnold, Les Paul and Mary Ford, Elvis Presley, Hank Snow, Andy Williams, Dolly Parton, and many others.] |

How many if any I wonder But I really don't give a hoot. I go for your caresses. I go for your embrace. I go for you so much, my darling, That I call you Old Gopher Face. When I look in your eyeballs, You make my poor knees knock, For you made time stand still, dear. Your face would stop a clock. You look like a million dollars-- All wrinkled and green, but cute. I wonder what they found you under, But I really don't give a hoot. Since you had your face lifted, Things have shifted, I suppose. The wart that was on your knee, dear, Is now on the end of your nose. So let it remain your secret, But, darling, I've got to scoot. I wonder what I'll do without you, But I really don't give a hoot. |
