Do not ask me to say I love you And look sadly up to me with those deep dark eyes Do not be like some timid furry animal Unsure of my affections and fearing I shall say go. Do not ask me to say I love you Those words rob me of my free choice to say I truly love And compel me as though I were cornered And have to argue. If I say nothing you'll stir and sigh, Or answer, you'll doubt the reply For no more than an idle phrase Rather say come love, then kiss me I shall follow till from the wave's crest I'll say the real words. For like the waves love comes and goes. So do not ask.

Do Not Ask
Do not ask me to say I love you And look sadly up to me with those deep dark eyes Do not be like some timid furry animal Unsure of my affections and fearing I shall say go. Do not ask me to say I love you Those words rob me of my free choice to say I truly love And compel me as though I were cornered And have to argue. If I say nothing you'll stir and sigh, Or answer, you'll doubt the reply For no more than an idle phrase Rather say come love, then kiss me I shall follow till from the wave's crest I'll say the real words. For like the waves love comes and goes. So do not ask.
