Genesis › Lyrics › Please Don't Ask

Please, don't ask me how I feel, I feel fine
Oh, I cry a bit, I don't sleep too good but I'm fine
When can I see you?
When can I touch you?

Again and again, I ask myself, was I wrong?
Oh but time's a healer and heaven knows I've been strong
Maybe we could try
Or maybe we would work this time

Oh, I can remember when
It was easy to say I love you
But things have changed since then
Now I really can't say if I still do

But I can try 'cause I know that the kids are well
Yes, you're a mother to the world
Oh but I miss my boy
I hope he's good as gold

But enough of me, tell me how are you? You look good
Oh, you've lost some weight I can see
Your hair looks nice, you look good
Maybe we should try but don't say it 'cause I know why

'Cause you know I can remember when
It was easy to say I love you
But things have changed since then
Now I really can't say if I still do

But I can try 'cause I know that the kids are well
Yes, you're a mother to the world
Oh, God, I miss my boy
I hope he's good as gold
