Let's Keep It That Way - Single Version

Lyricist: Anne Murray     Composer: Anne Murray

There's no need to lie
Without me half trying I could love you
It shows in your eyes
That you feel the same way I do
But wherever I go
My conscience goes
What more can I say
It's only desire, not yet a fire
Let's keep it that way

Cause I don't want to have to tell her a lie
When I get back home
And it would tear apart the fairy-tale world
If I did her wrong
Lying to her would hurt me more
Then leaving you this way
So before we forget
We're not cheaters yet
Let's keep it that way

Let's finish this wine
Cause I'm not thinking too clearly tonight
The touch of your hand
Makes it hard for a man to tell wrong from right
But she waits at home, she's there all alone
And though I'd like to stay
Before I give in
Let's call it just friends
And keep it that way

Cause I don't want to have to tell her a lie
When I get back home
And it would tear apart the fairy-tale world
If I did her wrong
Lying to her would hurt me more
Then leaving you this way
So before we forget
We're not cheaters yet
Let's keep it that way

I don't want to have to tell her a lie
When I get back home
And it would tear apart the fairy-tale world
If I did her wrong
Lying to her would hurt me more
Then leaving you this way
So before we forget
We're not cheaters yet
Let's keep it that way

I don't want to have to tell her a lie
When I get back home
And it would tear apart the fairy-tale world
