People Will Say We're in Love

Why do they think up stories that link my name with yours?
 Why do the neighbors chatter all day, behind their doors?
 I know a way to prove what they say is quite untrue.
 Here is the gist, a practical list of "don'ts" for you.
 Don't throw bouquets at me
 Don't please my folks too much
 Don't laugh at my jokes too much
 People will say we're in love!
 Don't sigh and gaze at me
 Your sighs are so like mine
 Your eyes mustn't glow like mine
 People will say we're in love!
 Don't start collecting things
 Give me my rose and my glove.
 Sweetheart they're suspecting things
 People will say we're in love.
 Some people claim that you are to blame as much as I.
 Why do y' take the trouble to bake my favorite pie?
 Grantin' your wish, I carved our initials on that tree.
 Jist keep a slice of all the advice you give so free.
 Don't praise my charm too much
 Don't look so vain with me
 Don't stand in the rain with me
 People will say we're in love!
 Don't take my arm too much
 Don't keep your hand in mine
 Your hand feels so grand in mine
 People will say we're in love!
 Don't dance all night with me
 Till the stars fade from above.
 They'll see it's alright with me
 People will say we're in love.
