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
