Why
do they think up stories
that link my name with yours?
Why do the neighbors gossip all day
behind their doors?
I know a way to prove what they say
is quite untrue
Here is the gist,
a practical list of don'ts
for you
Don't throw bouquets at me
Don't please my folks too much,
don't laugh at my jokes too much,
people will say we're
in love.
Don't sigh and gaze at me,
your sighs are so like mine,
your eyes mustn't glow like mine.
People will say we're in love
Don't start collecting things
Give me my rose an d my glove
Sweetheart, they're suspecting things
People will say we're in love
Some people claim that you are
to blame as much as I
Why do you take the trouble
to bake my favor ite pie?
Grant your wish,
I carved our initials on that tree
Just keep a slice
of all the advice you give, so free
Don't praise my charm too much
Don't look so vain with me
Don't stand in the rain with me
People will say we're in love
Don't take my arm too much
Don't keep your hand in mine
Your hand feels so grand in mine
People will say we're in love
Don't dance all night with me,
till the stars fade from above.
They'll see it's alright with me.
People will say we're in love
