People Will Say We're In Love Lyrics - The Complete Albums Collection 1958-1960 - Cannonball Adderley

Why do they think up stories that link my name with yours? 

Why do the neighbors 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 "donts" 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 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.
