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 fer 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



Laughs at your jokes-



Don't sigh and gaze at me

Your sighs are so like mine

Your eyes musn'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!



Some people claim that you're to blame as much as I

Why do you take the trouble to bake my favorite pie?

Grantin' your wish, I carved our initals 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

'Til the stars fade from above

They'll see it's all right with me

People will say we're in love
