Song Lyrics

They say what you don't know will never hurt you
What you don't see won't ever bother you at all
So if you see my sweetheart with another
Don't tell me you just make the teardrops fall
Let me go on thinking I'm the lucky one

And deep within her heart she loves me so
If there are unfaithful things that she has done
Please don't tell me I don't want to know

You may think you're doing me a favor
By telling me the things that you have seen
But you're just lighting fuses of destruction
You are just destroying my dreams

Of every reason to believe she's kind and true
And in my heart I think she loves me so
I'd be broken-hearted if I heard from you
All the things that I don't want to know

Let me go on thinking I'm the lucky one
And deep within her heart she loves me so
I'd be broken-hearted if I heard from you
All the things that I don't want to know

Don Ray Clay, Hank Thompson
