I'D RATHER NOT KNOW
Written by Nellie Smith and Leona Butrum
Our once precious love was marred by separation
And the days spent apart have bothered me so
You are my only love in all God's creation
And if you've been untrue then I'd rather not know
I'd rather not know if you've been unfaithful
And tarnished the love that I treasured so
Any rival of mine is faceless and placeless
Let's keep it that way 'cause I'd rather not know
I've heard people say when a conscience is guilty
Talk sometimes will help bring peace to your soul
But don't ever tell me what I don't know can't hurt me
Just confess in your prayers for I'd rather not know
I'd rather not know if you've been unfaithful
And tarnished the love that I treasured so
Any rival of mine is faceless and placeless
Let's keep it that way 'cause I'd rather not know
