Oh how many arms have held you
And hated to let you go
How many, oh how many, I wonder
But I really don't want, I don't wanna know


Oh how many lips have kissed you
And set, set your soul aglow, yes they did
How many, oh how many, I wonder, yes I do
But I really don't want to know


So always make, make me wonder
And always make, make me guess
And even, you know even if I ask you
Oh darling oh don't you, don't confess


Just let it, let it remain your secret
Oh for darling, darling I love you so
No wonder, yeah no wonder, I wonder
Mmm, 'cause I really don't want, I don't wanna know 


 A         D        A             A7              D
How many arms have held you, and hated to let you go
     D         Dm     A   F#m       A            E7      A
How many, how many I wonder, but I really don't want to know.
 A        D         A               A7                  D
How many lips have kissed you, and set your heart all aglow
     D         Dm     A   F#m      A            E7      A 
How many, how many I wonder, but I really don't want to know.
(chorus)
    A      A7      D       A      A7      D
So always make me wonder, always make me guess
     B7        E        B7               E   E7
And even if I ask you, Darling don't confess.
      A        D         A              A7                 D
Just let it remain your secret, 'cause Darling I love you so
     D         Dm       A   F#m       A            E7      A
No wonder, no wonder I wonder, but I really don't want to know.
