You wonder why I don't say I love you When we're all alone out in the pale moonlight You wonder why I don't hold you closer Whenever I'm kissing you goodnight Or why I don't say I'm lost without you When you tell me you can't live without my charm Well, I'd rather be safe than be sorry When I see you cuddle in another's arms
You'll find that I'm not like all the others I'm not wearing my heart pinned on my sleeve I'll keep it locked up until it's over I don't want it broken when you leave You've left a string of broken hearts behind you It's the talk that's going all over town And I'd rather be safe than be sorry Sorry, when they say you've turned me down
