Lyrics
WHAT WOULD THEY THINK?
Music & Lyrics by Denise Dimin/Reel2Real Songs
denisedimin.com
Don't talk - I know what you want to say.
Speak with your eyes. Don't give yourself away.
Touch only by mistake, or people will know.
It's not time yet, to let our feelings show.
Stay apart - they might figure things out.
And they'd never understand, what our love's about.
Not yet. Later, when we're alone.
We're matched wrong, so our feelings can't be shown.
Because what would they think?
But then what could they do?
If they saw how much, I'm in love with you?
Stay aware - always know what's going on.
We're diff'rent, but that doesn't make us wrong.
In public, keep your emotions in control.
And above all, don't let your feelings show.
Because what would they think?
But then what, what could they do?
If they saw how much, I'm in love with you?
Things will change - though I can't say when.
We'll have to wait, but (beat) until then.
We'll stand back and watch our love grow.
And hope someday, we can let our feelings show.
The pressure's great - but our love is strong.
It would be easy to give up, destroy what's been going on.
But hang on, (beat) we reap what we sow.
And in private, by God we'll let our feelings show!
There'll be no reason for them to think.
And there's nothing, nothing they can do.
When I tell you I'm so in love, I'm love with you!
What would they think?
But then what could they do?
If they saw how much, I'm in love with you?
