I Don't Wanna Know
Ria Mae Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

They say you are impossible
But I see beautiful
The way you looked too long

Can you see that I want more?
I'll wait, I'll wait, I can get in love
I'll wait, I'll wait
If you want taken my life
If you want leaving this time

I don't wanna know
I don't wanna know
I don't wanna know
I don't wanna know

If you are taking my life
If you don't love me tonight
I don't wanna know
I don't wanna know
I don't wanna know
I don't wanna know

It's rid turn on the wall
But I rather close my eyes
Won't looked process it all

No matter how I try
I'll wait, I'll wait
I can get in love
I'll wait, I'll wait

If you want taken my life
If you want leaving this time
I don't wanna know
I don't wanna know
I don't wanna know
I don't wanna know

If you are taking my life
If you don't love me tonight
I don't wanna know
I don't wanna know
I don't wanna know
I don't wanna know

How long? How long? How long?
Have I been dreaming babe
I don't wanna, I don't wanna
I don't wanna wake up

How long? How long? How long?
Have I been dreaming babe
I don't wanna, I don't wanna
I don't wanna wake up

If you are taking my life
If you want leaving this time
I don't wanna know
I don't wanna know
I don't wanna know
I don't wanna know

If you are taking my life
If you want leaving this time
I don't wanna know
I don't wanna know
I don't wanna know
I don't wanna know

If you are taking my life
If you don't love me tonight
I don't wanna know
I don't wanna know




I don't wanna know
I don't wanna know
