Don't Frighten Me

(album: Love / Action - 1981)

Tell me again about all of those men
You knew before we met
And I'll pretend to be interested
What you give is what you get
Then we can walk and maybe talk
About some of those wild parties
And how you felt the following day
And who you spent the night with

And I don't want to tie you down
I want you to be free but don't frighten me

I understand that it couldn't be planned
All this trouble and this heartache
But I got word about the things you did
Even after we had started
Don't call it luck but you came unstuck
When you tried to look for reasons
I watched your eyes so don't tell lies
About all these indiscretions

And I don't want to tie you down
I want you to be free but don't frighten me

Now I might try to feign indifference
And you might think that I don't care
That I just want to let it be
That kind of thing don't bother me
But please don't frighten me

So don't tell me again about all of those men
I don't want to hear about it
If you don't tell me what you did then
I won't tell you what I did
