I’m Not Supposed to Know Songtext
von Abbey Lincoln

I′m not supposed to know you need me;
How much you need to show
That you don't care.
I′m not supposed to know
How close you find love
Or understand the meaning of the scare.


How much you need to hold me close to kill me
How much you need to take my breath away
I know I'm not supposed to really love you
But still I love you anyway

I'm not supposed to know that love is hurtful
And everybody does the best they can
I′m not supposed to know there is a difference
In being just a woman or a man.

How much it takes to really climb a mountain
Sometimes to follow through
I′m not supposed to know you really love me
I'm not supposed to know, but I do.
