[Verse]
Come pick me Aup from the nEight
From the F#mhands of the dDark
From the tAhings I didn't kEnow
That would sF#mimply break your hDeart
There were yAears in this rEoom
Blind and shF#mattered in the gDlass
Held it Aup to mysEelf
'til I jF#must couldn't sDtand
[Chorus]
So don't F#mask me where I Abeen
'cause Dyou don't wanna kAnow
And don't F#mask me who I'm Aseein'
No, yEou don't wanna kAnow
Don't cF#mome around heDre when I nAeed you the Emost
