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.
Why won’t you let me love you in the best way I know?
We won’t go out to dinner and we won’t see a show
You’ll know just how I love you when I got you alone
Baby it’s true I’m in love, but I’m too shy
People are voyeurs darling, one thing on their minds
I hear their whispers, darling, and I feel their eyes
staring at our affection in a way most unkind
Baby don’t mistake me
I’m in love, but please don’t make me
oh, now baby please
Don’t make me hold your hand; you don’t seem to understand how it makes me feel
when people stop and stare
I swear, their are other ways to show it, baby please
Don’t make me hold your hand; there are few things i demand of you
it’s the one thing I won’t do
so don’t make me hold you hand
Why won’t you let me love you where we’ll never be found
‘way on some distant island or a hole in the ground
no one will see our lovin’ and they won’t hear a sound
Baby I can’t show it
I’m in love but no one knows it
