You're Asking Me
Ray Davies

You're asking me, what's it leading to?

Will we live a long life, will it treat us fair?

No point asking me because I haven't got a clue

You're asking me, will it be alright?

If you're asking me don't take my advice

And don't make me responsible

For you living your life

I could say there will be laughter, you will never cry

I could just as easily go tell a lie, couldn't I, yeah

What would come after, that would be unwise

If that's what you really want

Then get a life, get a life, get a life

You're asking me, will it be alright?

Because I've been around, I have the insight

And I was there the first time so I must know what it's like

If you're asking me, don't take my advice

Do we learn from all the questions that we ask

Do we listen to the past, we never do

It's up to you to go and make your own mistakes

Have a go and break a leg

But please don't come home crying when you do

You're asking me, don't take my advice

Because I've been there before

Doesn't come to pass

That I have all the answers to the questions that you ask

I'm telling you because you're asking me

Anyway, what am I supposed to say

Could say everything is really brilliant

Anything to make your worries disappear

Put your conscience in the clear

And make you think there's nothing left to fear

You're asking me, what's it leading to?

Will we live a long life, will it treat us fair?

No point asking me because I wasn't even there

First time around it was really grand

But inside something said to me

Go get a life, get a life

Now that I'm here I can't understand

Why anyone is asking me, if I could give a damn

I could say there will be laughter, you will never cry

I could just as easily go tell a lie, couldn't I?

Then what would come after, that would be unwise

If that's what you really want then

Get a life, get a life, get a life

If you're asking me, don't take my advice
