you had the prettiest blue-green eyes I'd ever seen
and I got a kick out of the way they looked at me
like I was a two-headed creature from another planet
that thrilled and delighted you but
you couldn't understand it

(chorus)
don't tell my ears 'cause they're not listening
don't tell my heart it doesn't know what it's missing
don't tell my eyes I know they won't believe
that you're not in love with me

we were inseparable you followed me around
and I got used to you this new friend that I found
I pictured us together I pictured us apart
and I knew from that moment that you were capable
of breaking my heart

don't tell my ears 'cause they're not listening...

six months of being friends
was all that I could stand
so I mustered up the courage to hold your hand
you were bedazzled bewildered
I guess it was just too soon
and when I finally kissed you
you walked out of the room....sssh!

don't tell my ears 'cause they're not listening....

I know you love me just a minute
I wouldn't want you if you didn't
I've been patient and I've waited
come on come on just say it
you and me sitting in a tree
K-I-S-S-I-N-G
you're not in love with me
