George Gershwin - I Don't Think I'll Fall in Love Today lyrics

Just think of what love leads to
Maybe marriage, maybe divorce

Into a jam love speeds two
It may be nature's course but we mustn't be
Like the other sheep

Better far if we look before we leap

Perhaps it's better after all
If we don't answer nature's call

Who knows if we'd agree?
You like you and I like me
I don't think I'll fall in love today

When evening shadows creep i like dancing

I like sleep
I don't think I'll fall in love today

Still, it might be fun to bring
Your carpet slippers
When the dinner bell would ring
I'd serve a can of kippers

Don't you know how to cook?

I could look in a book

I don't think Ill fall in love today

Love is a fever chronic
We can avoid it why take a chance?

Safer to be platonic
Why burn up with romance?

Adam without Eve happiness had known
So suppose we leave well enough alone?

Imagine signing up for life
Then finding peas roll off his knife

Do you sleep with window shut?

Window shut

Charming, but
I don't think I'll fall in love today

Did you pick that cravat?

I did that

Here's your hat
I don't think I'll fall in love today

It's as clear as A-B-C we're not agreeing
Incompatibility the judge would be decreeing
When all is said and done
Seems we two will never be one
Let's oh, let's not fall in love today

Do you play bridge or whist?

I like pinochle

I insist
I don't think I'll fall in love today

To what symphonies do you go?

All I know is "vo-de-o"

I don't think I'll fall in love today
Is the combination wrong?
I've wondered lately

We should never get along
Not even companionately

When all is said and done
Dear, we two will never be one
Let's oh, let's not fall in love today
