Don't come near
If you want to stay away.
Don't say you're gonna leave
If you really wanna stay.
Don't say night
If you really mean day.
Don't join the team
If you don't want to play.
Don't say you love me
If you're really not sure.
Don't keep me around
If you feel it's a chore.
Don't tell me we're through
If you still want more.
Don't say it's exciting
If it's really a bore.
Don't tell me you're loyal
If you're not being true.
Don't say you're happy
If you're feeling blue.
Don't say I'm the only
If there are others, too.
Don't lie to me
If you know what's good for you.
