I always leave her waiting I always leave her down If she should come my way I always turn around Please don't tell her I love her Please don't tell her I love her I always keep her out I never let her in If she should come my way weeping I greet her with a grin Please don't tell her I love her Please don't tell her I love her If she should discover the colors of my love, She will fly, fly away Now you can try tenderness You can try to hang around Oh, but I'm sure she'll love you less, I'm sure she'll bring you down Please don't tell her I love her Please don't tell her I love her
