For me I Don't Want to Know being an older song further pushes my curiosity / suspicion about the song. We all know those early songs were created during the time of closeness between Lindsey and Stevie and he spent days, weeks, and months working on her songs, as she worked odd jobs to support his production habit. As Lindsey has said the line between production and co-writing on Stevie's songs was pretty blurry.
To me there are some undeniable Lindseyisms in that song, phrasing, lyrical crutches, progressions, etc.
Mick says Lindsey, "we aren't using Silver Springs, what else we got that we can work up and present to Stevie as an option? How about the song you did the demo of with unfinished verses?"
All speculation and just good fun.
