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 

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 

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
