Quit actin´ so friendly,
don´t nod, don´t laugh all nicely.
Don´t think you´ll upend me,
don´t sigh, don´t sip your iced tea.
Don´t say it´s been a while,
and don´t flash that stupid smile.

Don´t ask me,
don´t ask me,
don´t ask me, ask me,
ask me how I´ve been.

Don´t think I´ve forgotten,
you never liked that necklace.
So cordial, so rotten,
kiss kiss let´s meet for breakfast.
Don´t show up so on time,
and don´t act like you´re so kind.

Don´t ask me, don´t ask me,
don´t ask me, ask me,
ask me how I´ve been.

Don´t ask me, Don´t ask-- ow!

Don´t sit there and play just,

so frank, so straight, so candid,
So thoughtful, so gracious,
so sound, so evenhanded.
And don´t be so damn benign,
don´t waste my fuckin´ time.

Don´t ask me how I´ve been.
