Accompaniment:
Lyrics
- Don’t throw bouquets at me
Don’t please my folks too much
Don’ 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 vane 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
