[Chorus]
You ask me not to wear cologne
She'll know you've been with me alone
And you can't take our secret home
So you ask me not to wear cologne

[Verse 1]
You can wipe the make up off
The lipstick or a little gloss
But fragrance lingers on and on
So you ask me not to wear cologne

[Verse 2]
You leave my bed and go to hers
Leaving me alone and hurt
I love you whether right or wrong
And you ask me not to wear cologne

[Verse 3]
I'm not out to hurt someone
Not you, not her, not any one
But I got heartaches of my own
Why, I can't even wear cologne

[Verse 4]
Oh but I never meant for this to be
It wasn't in my heart to cheat
Love has a nature all it's own
So I willingly gave up cologne
[Verse 5]
And every time you come to me
I realize I'm in too deep
I know you love us both and I keep holding on
You ask me not to wear cologne

You say, "Don't wear cologne"

[Verse 6]
Oh now what am I ever gonna do
Cause I am so in love with you
I know you love us both
But where do I belong
You ask me not to wear cologne

[Chorus]
You ask me not to wear cologne
She'll know you've been with me alone
And you can't take our secret home
So you ask me not to wear cologne

[Verse 7]
How do I walk away from the greatest love I've known
You ask me not to wear cologne
Oh you ask me not to wear cologne
[Verse 8]
You ask me not to wear cologne
She'll know you've been with me alone
And I'm a scent you can't take home
But will I ever get to wear cologne
