Don’t Ask My Neighbors
You're wondering if
I care about you
Is there some cause
That I should doubt you

Oh, I can see, boy
That you don't know me very well, uh-uh
You're so unsure

And you run here and there
To ask my feelings
Friends only guess
They can't say really, oh

Don't ask my neighbors
Don't ask the friends I hang around, uh-uh
Don't be afraid
To come to me
Don't ask my neighbors
Come to me
Don't be afraid of what you see
You'll find I love you
Come to me
Don't be afraid

You ask all my friends
If I'm the same, boy
You don't understand
You think I'm changing, oh
Don't ask my neighbors
Don't ask the friends I hang around
(Never ask the friends I hang around, uh-uh)
Don't be afraid
To come to me
Don't ask my neighbors
Come to me
Don't be afraid of what you see
You'll find I love you
Come to me
Don't be afraid

Oh, oh oh, ooh

Don't ask my neighbors (Come on)
Come to me
Don't be afraid of what you see (Of what you see)
You'll find I love you (You will find I love you)
Come to me
Don't be afraid

Oh, hey hey hey
Don't you be afraid, don't you be afraid
Come on

Don't ask my neighbors
Come to me (Come on)
Don't be afraid (Don't you be afraid)
Of what you see (Of what you see)
You'll find I love you
(You will find I love you)
Come to me
Don't be afraid
