Please Don't Tell Me 'bout The News Lyrics - Yardbirds

(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
