The Yardbirds - PLEASE DON'T TELL ME 'BOUT THE NEWS lyrics

(James McCarty)

You can read it in the morning

You can read read it late at night

Well there's been another warning

Or there's been another fight

There's a scandal going on

Some reporter stumbled on

About a leek in the press

And the world is in a mess

Wont you spare me from this story

'Cause I only get confused

Please don't tell me about the news

Please don't tell me about the news

Well some body told me lately

You've been seen down the town

Showing off your latest number

With some young guy hanging 'round

You were flirting with a kid

In a way you never did

When we used to be around

And we thought we had it found

Wont you spare me from this story

Babe I'll only get confused

Please don't tell me about the news

Please don't tell me about the news

There's a man in an office

And you know he's on the make

Long ago he sold his conscience

For the company's sake

Now he's really sealed his fate

By building an estate

An old sacred site

So we cant give up this fight

Wont you spare me from this story

And all those I would accuse

Please don't tell me about the news

Please don't tell me about the news
