Cole Porter
Don’t Look At Me That Way
[Verse 1]
I think you're great, I think you're grand
And I don't mind if you hold my hand
But don't look at me that way
[Verse 2]
Your kisses, too, are heavenly
And oh, so full of variety
But don't look at me that way
[Verse 3]
When you tell me sweetly you're mine completely
I always give a long cheer
But those sudden flashes behind your lashes
Are nobody's business, dear
[Verse 4]
Since you began to play your role
I've lost my heart and I've lost my soul
But as for losing my self-control
Don't look at me that way
[Verse 5]
Oh, I'm so mad about a lad
It's too deep to express
And when he tries to use his eyes
They have instant success
[Verse 6]
So full of passion, these pupils are
That girls forget what their scruples are
So when he turns them on me
I murmur tenderly
[Verse 7]
I just adore your loving arms
In fact, they're two of your greatest charms
But don't look at me that way
[Verse 8]
I'm very mild, I'm very meek
My will is strong, but my won't is weak
So don't look at me that way
[Verse 9]
When that strange expression of indiscretion
Begins to show in your stare
There's a hocus pocus about your focus
That gives me a terrible scare
[Verse 10]
I feel a thrill when you arrive
And while you're near I simply thrive
But if you want to get home alive
Don't look at me that way
