Lori McKenna - Don't Tell Her lyrics
[Lori McKenna - Don't Tell Her lyrics]
Don't tell her that I drink
Tea and not coffee
I'd prefer if you didn't talk at all about me
Even in a brief casual chat
Don't tell her how I loved your smile
Or things like that
Don't tell her how I was your best friend
Don't tell her how it could never
Work out in the end
Don't tell her how you learned
A lesson from me and that's why you have to
Take things slow and easy
If you can forgive me for my faults
Then maybe it can work out after all
I can't stand anybody knowing me
The way you do and I can't stand the thought
Of her knowing you
Don't tell her about that
Camping trip we took
Don't tell her how I bite my
Lip and never finish a book
Don't tell her how I like to sleep in late
Or that I believe in romance and fate
Well, what if we meet
On some cross-town street?
And you'll introduce us and
We'll finally meet
And I'll be alone when you're walking away
And I'll be wondering what she's going to say
Well, I know we'll never be the way we were
But don't tell her
Don't tell her that I'm too old for my age
Don't tell her that this love of
Mine was just a stage
She doesn't need to know my point of view
She'll never love you like the way that I do
Tea and not coffee
I'd prefer if you didn't talk at all about me
Even in a brief casual chat
Don't tell her how I loved your smile
Or things like that
Don't tell her how I was your best friend
Don't tell her how it could never
Work out in the end
Don't tell her how you learned
A lesson from me and that's why you have to
Take things slow and easy
If you can forgive me for my faults
Then maybe it can work out after all
I can't stand anybody knowing me
The way you do and I can't stand the thought
Of her knowing you
Don't tell her about that
Camping trip we took
Don't tell her how I bite my
Lip and never finish a book
Don't tell her how I like to sleep in late
Or that I believe in romance and fate
Well, what if we meet
On some cross-town street?
And you'll introduce us and
We'll finally meet
And I'll be alone when you're walking away
And I'll be wondering what she's going to say
Well, I know we'll never be the way we were
But don't tell her
Don't tell her that I'm too old for my age
Don't tell her that this love of
Mine was just a stage
She doesn't need to know my point of view
She'll never love you like the way that I do
