Things You Don’t Wanna Know

[Verse 1]
I used to tell it all to you
But now I don't wanna say nada
Nobody wants to hear the truth
They only wanna hear you say what you oughta
Did you have a cigarette?
You know I quit a long time ago
Ah, maybe it was '98
And maybe I will never know

[Chorus]
No, nobody wants to hear the truth
Nah, they only wanna see a show
And maybe you should stop askin'
'Bout things you don't wanna know

[Verse 2]
You used to call me "Bad Boy"
You used to run all over town
You used to call me "James Dean"
But now
All you wanna know is, "When you gonna get straight?"
All you wanna know is, "Where the hell is the car?"
All you wanna know is, "Why are you home so late?"
And "Who'd you leave at the bar?"

[Chorus]
Oh no, nobody wants to hear the truth
Ah, they only wanna see a show
And maybe you should stop askin'
'Bout things you don't wanna know

[Bridge]
Where do the lies begin?
I don't know but I remember when
I used to look you in the eye
But these days I don't even try

[Verse 3]
I used to tell it all to you
But now I don't wanna say nada
Nobody wants to hear the truth
They only wanna hear you say what you oughta
Did you have a cigarette?
You know I quit a long time ago
Yeah maybe it was last night
And maybe I will never know

[Chorus]
No, nobody wants to hear the truth
Nah, they only wanna see a show
So maybe you should stop askin'
Maybe you should stop askin'
Maybe you should stop askin'
'Bout things you don't wanna know
