lyrics

Please don't let down your hair,
I'll only want to run my fingers through it
And if your eyes should catch my stare
Avert them before they see right through it

We can not afford this

Because it's dangerous when it's uninvited
And it's soft and safe when it's unrequited
So please don't look at me
And tell me how you feel

Please don't let me catch the blush
That rushes to your face each time you smile
Can't you see it tortures me
Each time you ask to walk for just a while

I was not prepared for this

Because it's dangerous when it's uninvited
And it's soft and safe when it's unrequited
So please don't look at me and tell me
You're in love

Haven't got the decency to tell you
That I'm not the one you're looking for
I haven't got the common sense
Not to show up at your door
Tonight

Because it's dangerous when it's uninvited
And it's safer still when it's unrequited
And I'm sorry love, but I just can't fight it
Tonight

So let me love you madly without warning
And save "I'm sorry" for the morning
I want my love to be the only thing adorning
You

And it's not fair to me when it's you that did it
It's kind of beautiful, when we both admit
And I the we'd be remiss to call this
Less than love

Because it's dangerous when it's uninvited
And it's soft and safe when it's unrequited
But please just look at me, and tell me
You're in love
