On “I Don’t Wanna Know”, Sheryl sings about the stories she hears on the news bringing her down. It comes to a point where she feels she needs to disconnect from the world, as she can’t take anymore of the negativity.
[Verse 1]
I heard the song; it was all around
Everyone's quitting, everyone's breaking down
I called your house on the telephone
Nobody answers, but I know you're home
[Pre-Chorus]
All in all, it's nature's poetry
I can't understand the way it flows
[Chorus]
So, I don't wanna know
No, I don't wanna know
'Cause everything I know makes me feel so low
No, I don't wanna know
[Verse 2]
I pushed a button just to find my way
I got directions, but I'm still lost today
I see her smiling, but her eyes were dead
Nobody's cryin', that's what the paper said
[Pre-Chorus]
All in all, it's nature's poetry
I can't understand the way it goes
[Chorus]
So, I don't wanna know
No, I don't wanna know
'Cause everything I know makes me feel so low
No, I don't wanna know
[Pre-Chorus]
All in all, it's nature's poetry
Can't understand the way it flows
[Chorus]
So, I don't wanna know
No, I don't wanna know
'Cause everything I know makes me feel so low
No, I don't wanna know
No, I don't wanna know
No, I don't wanna know
No, I don't wanna know
'Cause everything I know makes me feel so low
I don't wanna know
