I’m asking you to tell me why
You leave me as often as you do
Am I to be your used-to-be?
Can I be losing you?

I tell myself I’ve got to know
But every part of me is saying no
Don’t answer me, don’t answer me
I’m so afraid you’ll say you want me to go

Why can’t I be happy to be with you now and then?
For now and then is better than never again

I don’t know why I’m asking you
But I know what it may be leading to
Don’t answer me, don’t answer me
Not if you’re going to tell me that we’re through
Don’t answer me, please don’t answer me
Or I’ll be left with nothing if I lose you
