According to
Howard Lee Barnes, Eddy Arnold’s 1954 hit “I Really Don’t Want
To Know” came to mind after he thought about people finding
the right person to love.
Barnes
commented, “I wrote “I Really Don’t Want To Know” in 1949. I
had been thinking about just how few persons seem to find the
right or the perfect lover, or at least until they have been
held and kissed by so many? That’s where I came up with the
opening line, “how many arms have held you?”
Eddy Arnold’s RCA Victor single, “I Really Don’t Want To Know”
entered the country music charts January 9th, 1954
and made it to number one. It was his 54th charted
song and was on the country charts for 37 weeks.
