Diahann Carroll - Don't Answer Me

I'm asking you to tell me why
You leave me as often as you do;
Am I to be your "used to be",
Can I be losing you?

I tell myself and I've got to know,
But every part of me is saying "no!";
Don't answer me, don't answer me,
I'm so afraid you'll say you want me to go!

You ask me to be happy to be with you now and then,
You say now and then's better than never again!

I don't know why I'm asking you,
When I feel what it may be leading to
Don't answer me, don't answer me,
Not if you're gonna tell me that we're through!

Oh, don't answer me, oh don't answer me,
For I'll be left with nothing if I lose you!
