Carly Simon - Better Not Tell Her lyrics

rate me

(carly simon)

Better not tell herthat I was your lover

Better not make her jealous of me

Better convince her there was nothing between us

I'm not those initials in your diary

But if you slip and my name comes up

Don't deny that you knew me

Just leave out the white nights

The moon in your window

The break in your whisper

The promises after

Better not tell her why you love spanish dancing

Don't bother to say that it's hot in the summer in madrid

Let it all go nowlike smoke from a candle

Like the trace of a song that you hear in the wind

But if you slip and my name comes up

Don't deny that you knew me

Just leave out the white nights

The moon in your window

The break in your whisper

The promises after

Leave out the tears and the laughter

She won't need to know

That I cried when you left

That I think of you still

But if you slip and my name comes up

Don't deny that you knew me

Just leave out the white nights

The moon in your window

The break in your whisper

The promises after

Leave out the tears and the laughter

She won't need to know

That I'd die for your love

That I still...love...you
