Lyrics:

Don't tell her that you want her
Don't ask her to be yours
Don't tell her she is everything
Or she might see the fool behind the frown
And then the heart behind the fool
So don't tell her that you need her
Don't tell her that you care
Don't ask her to hold you
Or she might see the fool behind the frown
And then the heart behind the fool
Behind the cool, there's a dreading that someday she'll betray you
Someday she will dispose of all her photographs of you
So don't tell her when you're lonely
Don't tell her when you're blue
Don't tell her she means everything to you
To you
Behind the cool, there's a dreading that someday she'll betray you
Someday she will dispose of all her photographs of you
So don't tell her that you need her (don't tell her that you love her)
Don't tell her that you care (don't tell her that you want her)
Don't ask her to hold you
Or she might see the fool behind the frown
(She might see the fool behind the frown)
She might see the fool behind the frown
Or she might see the fool behind the frown
And then the heart behind the fool
