One, two, three I started working at a job laying pipe up in Caroline Got my little cousin Billy hired on and working by my side Well, we'd work all day and stay out all night And that's when I noticed his wandering eye I don't wanna know what I know, 'cause I know it ain't good Well, Billy's been married to Mrs. Rita for ten years now She's hotter than a pistol and meaner than a cottonmouth And if she ever caught wind of Billy running around She got a sweet .44 that'd put him in the ground I don't wanna know what I know, 'cause I know it ain't good And Billy's on two phones, hiding what he does for his thrills While Rita's thinking Billy's making overtime to pay her bills Billy's throwing matches around in a house of wood I don't wanna know what I know, 'cause I know it ain't good Well, I love my cousin Billy, and he's always done me right But he's brought me in the middle of his cheating and adulterous life You know I don't wanna break up a man and his wife But if there's one thing I hate, it's a man who's a liar I don't wanna know what I know, 'cause I know it ain't good Well, I don't wanna know what I know, 'cause I know it ain't good
