Country Music/song from early 90's

Question
Hello, Mel! I wonder if you can remember a song performed by a man with the lyrics:
I wouldn't know, I haven't seen her
I couldn't say, it's been a while
I haven't thought about her lately
So I wouldn't know
I'm getting tired of people asking
Why can't they just leave me alone
I couldn't care, I couldn't say, I wouldn't know

I've googled the heck out of it and find where a few different people have recorded the song, but the artist I'm thinking of was in the early 90's; about the same time as Lisa Stewart released, "Under The Light of the Texaco."

Any ideas?

Thank you!
Laura from Fargo

Answer
Hello Laura,

Here's your song.........


I WOULDN'T KNOW
Written by Marc Beeson, Robert Byrne & Michael McGuire

Recorded by:
Andy Childs - 1993
Shenandoah - 1995
Michael Ball - 1995
Reba McEntire - 1998
Damon Gray - 2000


Everyone I see these days
Still ask me about you
I guess they got so used to us together
They assume that everything's OK
Then I have to say
I wouldn't know, I haven't seen her
I couldn't say, it's been a while
I haven't thought about her lately
So I wouldn't know
I'm getting tired of people asking
Why can't they just leave me alone
I couldn't care, I couldn't say, I wouldn't know
I don't get out anymore
To our old stomping ground
'Cos some old friend is bound to ask
Why you're not around
Then I'll just stay away
So I won't have to say
I wouldn't know, I haven't seen her
I couldn't say, it's been a while
I haven't thought about her lately
So I wouldn't know
I'm getting tired of people asking
Why can't they just leave me alone
I couldn't care, I couldn't say, I wouldn't know


Glad to be of help. Cheers......Mel.

I have been hooked on Country music since first hearing Jim Reeves in the late 50s. Two of the greatest nights of my life were seeing The Mavericks and Reba McEntire live in London. I am more at home with traditional Country music, but am happy to try and help with any questions relating to songs up to 2000. Please note that I DO NOT have the same knowledge about country music videos or singers private lives.
