Lyrics

Why do they think up stories that link my name with yours?  
Why do the neighbors chatter 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 "donts" 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 and my glove.  
Sweetheart they're suspecting things  
People will say we're in love.  
  
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.
