Let's Keep It That Way

(album: Forever - 1979)

There's no need to lie, without me half trying I could love you
It shows in your eyes that you feel the same way I do
But wherever I go, my conscience goes, what more can I say
It's only desire and not yet a fire, let's keep it that way

'Cause I don't want to have to tell her a lie, when I get back home
'Cause it would tear apart her fairy tale world, if I did her wrong
And lying to her would hurt me more than leaving you this way
So before we forget, we're not cheaters yet, let's keep it that way

Let's finish this wine, 'cause I'm not thinking too clear tonight
And the touch of your hand makes it so hard for a man to tell wrong from right
But she waits at home and she's there alone and yes, I'd like to stay
Before I give in, let's call it just friends and keep it that way

'Cause I don't want to have to tell her a lie, when I get back home
'Cause it would tear apart her fairy tale world, if I did her wrong
And lying to her would hurt me more than leaving you this way
So before we forget, we're not cheaters yet, let's keep it that way
