Lyrics:

I told you not to meet me here
I cant be seen with you whispering in my ear
I dont mind holding hands
But not in front of company
Its not the done thing here, baby

Next weekend well be on our own
And we can spend some time together all alone
But if she knew what I was doing
Shed throw the ring back in my face
An 18 carat love affair
Would then be stamped repair
So we cant be seen in this place

Love affair
An 18 carat love affair
I dont know which side Im on
But my friend John said not to care
Love affair
An 18 carat love affair
She might write to Evelyn home
If left alone and in despair

Please dont leave any clues around
The last time we...
She found some lipstick on the ground
I said an Avon girl had called
Free samples on display
She left her card
But I threw it away

But if she knew what I was doing
Shed throw the ring back in my face
An 18 carat love affair
Would then be stamped repair
So we cant be seen in this place
Love
An 18 carat love affair
