18 Carat Love Affair
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I told you not to meet me here
I can't be seen with you whispering in my ear
I don't mind holding hands
But not in front of company
It's not the done thing 'round here, baby
Next weekend we'll be on our own
And we can spend some time together all alone
But if she knew what I was doing
She'd throw the ring back in my face
An 18 carat love affair
Would then be stamped "repair"
So we can't be seen in this place
Love affair
An 18 carat love affair
I don't know which side I'm on
But my friend John said not to care
Love affair
An 18 carat love affair
She might write to Evelyn home
If left alone and in despair
Please don't leave any clues around
The last time we...
She found some lipstick on the ground
I said an Avon girl had called
Free samples on display
She left her card
But I threw it away
But if she knew what I was doing
She'd throw the ring back in my face
An 18 carat love affair
Would then be stamped "repair"
So we can't be seen in this place
Love
An 18 carat love affair
