Don't Ask Lyrics

don't ask
don't tell
just keep it to yourself
don't lie
don't cheat
I'm not ready to face defeat

be still
lay low
nobody needs to know
be sure to deny
cross your heart and hope to die

my fate is in your hands, dear
so please consider this
I'd be ruined if they'd find out
about the night we kissed

don't say a word
imagine if they heard
don't use my name
don't put my life to shame

be still
lay low
nobody needs to know
be sure
be sly
put on a smile and then deny

my life depends on you, dear
so please consider me
lock you lovely mouth and throw out
that all important key

it was just one of those things, dear
it was grand but couldn't last
and though I'd love to have you near, dear
our affair is in the past

I ought to paint this town in shades of you
get on that roller coaster ride
we'd walk the lanes and avenues
if I could have you by my side

my life depends on you, dear
so please consider me
lock your lovely mouth and throw out
that all importatnt key

my fate is in your hands dear
so please consider this
I'd be ruined if they'd find out
about the night we kissed
