People Will Say We're In Love - 1943 from 'Oklahoma'

Dr. Pitt-Payne in London UK - 11 Oct 2001

Why do they think up stories
that link my name with yours?
Why do the neighbours chatter
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 'dont's' 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.

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 fav'rite pie?
Grantin' your wish,
I carved our initials on the tree!
Jist keep a slice of all
that advice you 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
till the stars fade from above.
They'll see it's alright with me;
People Will Say We're In Love.

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
till the stars fade from above.
They'll see it's alright with me;
People Will Say We're In Love.
