[Verse 1: K-Ci]
Ooh, how is it that I love you
But wanna only for one day
Be that as it may
Believe me when I say
I love to love you, baby
Real spit, I'm starting to believe
The shit was in my DNA
Respecting how I feel to be human nature
'Cause I know you felt the same way

[Pre-Chorus: K-Ci]
That's why I play it cool
That's why, never asked about dude
She never ever, she never, she never ever
She never asked about you

[Chorus: K-Ci & JoJo]
And they say don't ask, don't tell
'Cause she ain't going nowhere
And I ain't going nowhere
Even though we're going nowhere fast
And they say don't ask, don't tell
'Cause she ain't going nowhere
And I ain't going nowhere
And if she don't ask, I won't tell

[Verse 2: K-Ci]
Now woman this not how I plan to be
Baby girl, you gotta believe
But it don't matter now, 'cause how it worked out
We were doing the same thing
And I never lied to you
I never felt the need
Now I'm hit with guilt, 'cause you never tripped
This is how it had to be

[Pre-Chorus: K-Ci]
That's why I never called your phone
That's why you neevr called my home
I let you do you, you let me do me
We both know what's going on

[Chorus: K-Ci & JoJo]
And they say don't ask, don't tell
'Cause she ain't going nowhere
Nd I ain't going nowhere
Even though we're going nowhere fast
And they say don't ask, don't tell
'Cause she ain't going nowhere
And I ain't going nowhere
And if she don't ask, I won't tell

[Bridge: K-Ci & JoJo]
Girl, one day, baby, won't be a thing
You made me a one woman man
Put a ring on your finger
Girl, you can say it wouldn't be grand
But until that day, you know what they say

[Chorus: K-Ci & JoJo]
And they say don't ask, don't tell
'Cause she ain't going nowhere
And I ain't going nowhere
Even though we're going nowhere fast
And they say don't ask don't tell
'Cause she ain't going nowhere
And I ain't going nowhere
And if she don't ask, I won't tell
And they say don't ask, don't tell
'Cause she ain't going nowhere
And I ain't going nowhere
Even though we're going nowhere fast
And they say don't ask don't tell
'Cause she ain't going nowhere
And I ain't going nowhere
And if she don't ask, I won't tell

K-Ci & JoJo

Brothers Cedric Hailey and Joel Hailey from Monroe, North Carolina make up the duo K-Ci & JoJo, the lead singers and half of the multi-platinum R&B group Jodeci along with brothers Mr. Dalvin and DeVante Swing. After three platinum albums with Jodeci, K-Ci & JoJo branched off and sang hooks for 2Pac on his singles “How Do U Want It” and “Toss It Up” in 1996 before releasing their first album Love Always in 1997. The album featured the #1 hit “All My Life,” which topped the Billboard Hot 100 for three weeks and was nominated for two Grammys. Their second album, It’s Real, was released in 1999 and hit platinum status in part due to the success of the single “Tell Me It’s Real,” which peaked at #2 on the Billboard chart. Their third album, X, was released in 2000 and featured the hit “Crazy,” which peaked at #3 on the Hot 100.

The duo released two more albums—2002’s Emotional and 2013’s My Brother’s Keeper—but they didn’t contain any top hits. In 2010, they starred in their own reality show on TVOne titled K-Ci & JoJo…Come Clean which dealt with their alcohol and relationship issues as they attempted a comeback. They reunited with Jodeci to release the album The Past, The Present, The Future in 2015.
