Need to Know

Mama told me rainbows
Always follow storms
And for every falling star
There is another one reborn
A heart grows strong through heartbreak
Like an oak tree in the wind
It's no surprise
When love you prized
Starts coming 'round again

So don't ask me how I'm doing
If you see me at a show
Enjoy the band
Forget the hand
You held so long ago
Don't tell me that you miss me
When you've got a wife at home
Don't ask me how I'm doing
You don't really need to know

Don't wanna see the pictures
Of the house you built last summer
Or listen to you brag about
Your second honeymoon in Rome
Don't wanna hear the stories
About how much your kids have grown
For me that's just a little more
Than I really need to know

So don't ask me how I'm doing
If you see me at the store
Just buy your books
Forget the tender looks
You gave before
Don't tell me you'd still kiss me
If you had no wife at home
Don't ask me how I'm doing
You don't really need to know

About those restless nights
You put me through
Bloodshot eyes
Slept till noon
Should be dead
So don't wanna be friends
I'm a phoenix rising from the grave
The life you left
This heart I gave
Got nothing more I wanna say

So don't ask me how I'm doing
If you see me anywhere
Just turn away
Forget my name
Forget the love we shared
Don't wanna be your mistress
When I've been the wife at home

I'm doing fine without you there
That's all you need to know

I'm doing fine right now
That's all you need to know
