You know I wouldn't want to lead you on
for nothing with the risks we'd have to take;
you don't know what you've got until it's gone
and then it costs so much for one mistake.
I know 'cos i'm a bloody fool sometimes
and just end up by reaping what I sow;
and so perhaps we'd better stick to rhymes
and just content ourselves with what we know -
having our little secret when we meet,
if not lovers, partners in deceit.
