(Hey the truth might hurt so I’m tellin’ you now that you better not ask me)
Hey you better not ask me where I been all night
Why my eyes are shinin’ and my spirit is flyin’
You better not ask if I been doin’ right or I just might tell you
And you better not ask me bout the girls I used to know
And days I used to run around before I ever met you
You better not ask how they compare to you or I just might tell you
And you better not ask me if I’m satisfied
With the way you’ve been givin’ me what you call lovin’
Better not ask me bout the times I cried or I just might tell you
So keep on doin’ what you’re doin’ and if you should see me straight
Well don’t you ask baby just let it pass baby
And maybe it’ll go away but I don’t doubt it
You better not ask me if I’m gonna stick around
Or pack up all my bags and find another pretty city
You better not ask me who it is I found or I just might tell you

Some external links: The Bat’s Poetry Cave. — Fledermaus’s poetry site. Talking Writing Monster. — the irreverent and irrelevant chatter on subjects both serious and not quite. A free for all board. You can scribble anything on it without registration (but it doesn’t let spammers in). You can even post your poems. Qwant.com. — a search engine from France. It’s an alternative because there are a few alternatives, like Bing, Duckduckgo, and Ecosia. And there is Yandex, the ultimate language-oriented search engine for the Russophone world. Commercial Links: Russian Commerce – the foreign trade assistance agency Other links: Poems and poetry in Russian (if you are reading this in English, as you obviously are, then you’d have to switch the language, the language switch is on the menu.
