People Will Say We're In Love

Why do they think up stories that link my name with yours? Why do the neighbors gossip 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 don'ts 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 Some people claim that you are to blame as much as I Why do you take the trouble to bake my favorite pie? Grantin' your wish I carved our initials on that tree Just keep a slice of all the advice ya give so free 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 'Til the stars fade from above They'll see it's all right with me People will say we're in love Hey! If there's anybody out and around this yard that can hear my voice I want 'em to know that Miss Laurey Williams is my girl! Curly! Hah-ha! And she went and got me to ask her to marry me! They'll hear you all the way to Catoosie! Let 'em! Let people say we're in love Who cares what happens now? Just keep your hand in mine Your hand feels so grand in mine Let people say we're in love Starlight looks well on us Let the stars beam from above Who cares if they tell on us Let people say we're in love
