[Verse 1]
My girlfriend, my dumb donut
Went out to a party just the other night
But three hours later and seven shots of Jäger
She was in the bedroom with another guy

[Pre-Chorus]
And I don't really wanna know
So don't tell me anymore
And I really don't wanna hear
About her feet all up in the air

[Chorus]
And well, I'm not the one who acted like a hoe
Why must I be the one who has to know?
I'm not the one who messed up big time
So, spare me the details if you don't mind

[Verse 2]
Now I can understand friends who wanna tell me
Think they're gonna help me open up my eyes
But the play-by-play makes me wanna lose it
Every time you do it, man, it turns the knife

[Pre-Chorus]
And I don't really wanna know
So don't tell me anymore
And I really don't wanna hear
About her feet all up in the air

[Chorus]
And well, I'm not the one who acted like a hoe
Why must I be the one who has to know?
I'm not the one who messed up big time
So, spare me the details if you don't mind

[Bridge]
Now I don't need to hear about the sounds they were making
And I don't need to hear about how long it was taking
Or how the walls, they were shaking

[Verse 3]
Now lying in bed, wallowing in sorrow
Missing the tomorrow that we could have had
Running through my head, over and over
Things I never told her now just make me sad
And it drives me insane, sitting with the vision
Stuck with that image burned into my brain
And I feel so dumb that I could ever trust her
While someone else fucked her, then walked away

[Pre-Chorus]
And I don't really wanna to know
So don't tell me anymore
And I really don't wanna hear
About her feet all up in the air

[Chorus]
And so, I'm not the one who acted like a hoe
Why must I be the one who has to know?
I'm not the one who messed up big time
So, spare me the details if you don't mind

[Outro]
('Cause I don't wanna know)
Don't wanna know
(Spare me the details if you don't mind)
Don't wanna know
Don't wanna know..
(Spare me the details if you don't mind)
