I Don’t Want to Know Lyrics

[Chorus: Lindsey Buckingham & Stevie Nicks]
I don't want to know the reasons why love keeps
Right on walkin' on down the line
I don't want to stand between you and love, honey
I just want you to feel fine
I don't want to know the reasons why love keeps
Right on walkin' on down the line
I don't want to stand between you and love, honey
I just want you to feel fine

[Verse 1: Lindsey Buckingham & Stevie Nicks]
Finally, baby
The truth has come down, now
Take a listen to your spirit
It's cryin' out loud
Trying to believe

[Pre-Chorus: Lindsey Buckingham & Stevie Nicks]
Oh, you say you love me, but you don't know
You got me rockin' and a-reeling
Oh, yeah, uh-huh

[Chorus: Lindsey Buckingham & Stevie Nicks]
I don't want to know the reasons why love keeps
Right on walkin' on down the line
I don't want to stand between you and love, honey
I just want you to feel fine
I don't want to know the reasons why love keeps
Right on walkin' on down the line
I don't want to stand between you and love, honey
I just want you to feel fine

[Verse 2: Lindsey Buckingham & Stevie Nicks]
Finally, baby
The truth has been told
Now, you tell me that I'm crazy
It's nothing that I didn't know
Trying to survive

[Pre-Chorus: Lindsey Buckingham & Stevie Nicks]
Oh, you say you love me, but you don't know
You got me rockin' and a-reeling
Hanging on to you
Oh, yeah, uh-huh

[Chorus: Lindsey Buckingham & Stevie Nicks]
I don't want to know the reasons why love keeps
Right on walkin' on down the line
I don't want to stand between you and love, honey
Take a little time

[Instrumental Bridge]

[Outro: Lindsey Buckingham & Stevie Nicks]
Ah, I don't want to know

We cut the son...
