Robert Plant
"Messin With The Mekon"


Oh, don't cross your fingers - cross your heart and soul
Don't ask me the question - God, I just don't know
This whole damn indenture put my emotion on hold
So don't ask me why
You ask how I feel, and what it's like inside
I'm hot in pursuit - I'm bearing down on your hide
Involved in recovery - tryin' to save my pride
Don't ask me again

Wound up in circumstance beyond my control
Affairs of the heart no longer leave me cold
What a lot of feeling such a long time ago
Don't ask me again
Get down, baby - you're out of control
You leave by my side or you leave on your own
I don't know what I should know
Don't ask me again

So don't you ask me how I feel and what it's like inside
In such a circumstance, babe, you don't mess with my pride
It's just recovery, babe - just recovery, babe

Meet me in the middle - please, some give and take
Alternative arrangements I've left to be made
A new composition's not a piece of cake
So don't you ask me
Wound up in circumstance beyond my control
Affairs of the heart no longer leave me cold
What a lot of feeling such a long time ago
