Quit actin' so friendly,
don't nod, don't laugh all nicely.
Don't think you'll upend me,
don't sigh, don't sip your iced tea.
Don't say it's been a while,
and don't flash that stupid smile.

Don't ask me,
don't ask me,
don't ask me, ask me,
ask me how I've been.

Don't think I've forgotten,
you never liked that necklace.
So cordial, so rotten,
kiss kiss let's meet for breakfast.
Don't show up so on time,
and don't act like you're so kind.

Don't ask me, don't ask me,
don't ask me, ask me,
ask me how I've been.

Don't ask me, Don't ask-- ow!

Don't sit there and play just,
so frank, so straight, so candid,
So thoughtful, so gracious,
so sound, so evenhanded.
And don't be so damn benign,
don't waste my fuckin' time.

Don't ask me how I've been.
