[Verse 1]
Ask me any kind of question
Anything you want to know
Tell you all about my lovers
Heartaches and laughter from a long time ago
And ask me if I'm finally happy
Never really been before
Ever since you happened to me
I've told all my secrets, I don't have anymore

[Chorus]
Ask me now and I won't tell a lie
Ask me how I've been feeling inside
When somebody loves you
You know that it's true, don't ask why

[Verse 2]
And ask me if I really mean it
When I tell you I love you
Ask me will I please repeat it
I'll tell you forever if you want me to

[Chorus]
And ask me now and I won't tell a lie
Ask me how I've been feeling inside
When somebody loves you
And you know that it's true, don't ask why

[Outro]
No, don't ask why?
