[Verse 1]
Take my hand
Come with me
To sunny shores and starry sands
Comfort me
Don’t be coy
It’s time you acted like a man

[Chorus]
I couldn’t leave her
Couldn’t deceive her
I got no leisure for such affairs
I couldn’t hurt her
Couldn’t desert her
To disconcert her would be unfair

[Verse 2]
Don’t be fooled
Don’t you think
Your honey has flirtations too?
Taste these lips
Don’t tell me
That you don’t yearn for something new

[Chorus]
I couldn’t leave her
Couldn’t deceive her
And to demean her would be unfair
I couldn’t hurt her
Couldn’t desert her
I’m an aversion to such affairs
[Verse 3]
Look at me
Am I not
The essence of sincerity?
Come with me
Just this once
And I’ll be sworn to secrecy

[Chorus]
I couldn’t leave her
Couldn’t deceive her
And to demean her would be unfair
I couldn’t hurt her
Couldn’t desert her
I’m an aversion to such affairs

[Coda]
Okay, okay
I’ve heard enough this way
All I want to say is
That when this great love yours has soured
And it will, they all do
Consider me and I hope I’m still available
To consider you too

Consider me and I’ll consider you
Consider me and I’ll consider you
Consider me and I’ll consider you
