[Verse 1]
Don't hold me so close
For I don't love you
You've got what you want
I'm only your friend
To feel your embrace
Might cut me in two
The sight of your face
Let that be the end

[Pre-Chorus]
Come, tell me the names of your new affairs
Describe all their games and mimic their sighs
For you understand that I don't love you
But don't press my hand or look deep in my eyes

[Chorus]
Don't whisper to me
"My dear, you're so sweet"
Don't nuzzle my ear when evening is here
For I don't love you
And when you confess
Your new love's a cheat
Don't say it with charm while stroking my arm
For I don't love you
[Verse 2]
I haven't been hurt
You won't see my cry
Our love was a dream
A vision that died
Now just let me see
The lies in your eye
Undimmed by the tears
That you haven't cried

[Pre-Chorus]
Yes, just let me know how happy you'll be
Make sure I can see how bravely you smile
How you fell for her, describe it to me
Find words to convey her inexpressible style

[Chorus]
No, don't say a word
What good would it do?
The fire is out that blazes so high
When romance is true
If I seem to cry
Please, don't ask me why
My darling, my love, oh, how can you doubt
That I don't love you?
[Outro]
No, don't press my hand
Don't hold me so close
No, I don't love you...
