[Female Vocalist] [Melisma]
[Verse]
I love you, Baby I love you, I mean that with all of my heart, So sure from the start, I vow to make us a happy home, A place where we can sow our seeds, And be free,
[Pre-Chorus]
So don’t go creeping,
around in our bedroom,
One day you will get caught,
Every secret comes to the light,
And even though I love you,
All I ask is that you
[Chorus]
Don’t have, the-Whole-town-laughing-at-me,
For the things you do,
I can’t take it,
I won’t take it,
Don’t have, the-Whole-town-laughing-at-me,
For being down for you,
I can’t take it ‘No…
I won’t take it ‘No…
Promise me you won’t embarrass me.
[Verse]
Our dream so near
We could reach out and touch it (I could touch it)
But you lost it (and I lost it)
Oh Lord, I lost it
Had a world complete
It was, oh, so sweet
(And I lost it) and I lost it
(I lost it)
Oh Lord, I lost it
[Pre Chorus]
Maybe if I had spent more time with you,
Maybe these girls around town wouldn’t have had a chance to try my man,
But it’s in your nature,
Nothing I can do about you going creeping
And even though I love you,
All I ask is that you…
[Chorus]
Don’t have, the-Whole-town-laughing-at-me,
For the things you do,
I can’t take it,
I won’t take it,
Don’t have, the-Whole-town-laughing-at-me,
For being down for you,
I can’t take it ‘No…
I won’t take it ‘No…
Promise me you won’t embarrass me.
[Guitar Solo]
[Bridge]
Be the man that walks away from temptation,
Is it in you?
I want to know it,
I need to know it,
Don’t play around in my bedroom,
Because the whole towns gonna laugh at me,
Be the man that walks away from temptation,
Do you have it in you?
I want to know it,
I need to know it,
Don’t play around in my bedroom.
Because the whole towns gonna laugh at me,
Do you have it in you?
I want to know it,
I need to know it,
Be the man that walks away from temptation,
Do you have it in you?
I want to know it,
I need to know it,
Don’t play around in my bedroom,
Because the whole towns gonna laugh at me…
If you don’t have it in you,
To be faithful to me,
[Outro]
They’re gonna laugh at me,
Laugh at me,
And I’m gonna have to walk away from you…
Then the whole towns gonna laugh at you,
Silly fool, you’re gonna lose me
If you ever play around in my bedroom.
