I got ideas but I don't know it all   And when I speak you know my voice is small   And when I'm walking down the street   I never smile at folks I meet   Cause I know they won't smile at me   Now ask yourself why this should be      But if you want the answers   If you want the answers   Don't ask me   If you want the answers   If you want the answers   Don't ask me      I got feelings but they don't count for much   And I shake my fist but I got no power as such   But if I tell you what I see   Don't throw my words right back at me   Cause I can't shout and I can't moan   Cause I got problems of my own      But if you want the answers   If you want the answers   Don't ask me   If you want the answers   If you want the answers   Don't ask me      Someday soon I gotta learn enough   To justify my actions   Until then I want you all to try   To share my gut reactions   Gut reactions      But if you want the answers   If you want the answers   Don't ask me   If you want the answers   If you want the answers   Don't ask me
