Taboo 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
