"Let's Keep It That Way" lyrics

Let's Keep It That Way

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 him a lie
When I get back home
Cause it would tear apart his fairy tale world
If I did him wrong
And lying to him would hurt me more
Than 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
And the touch of your hand
Makes it so hard for me
To tell wrong from right

He waits at home
He's there 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 him a lie
When I get back home
Cause it would tear apart his fairy tale world
If I did him wrong
And lying to him would hurt me more
Than leaving you this way
So before we forget
We're not cheaters yet
Let's keep it that way

Cause I don't want to have to tell him a lie
When I get back home
Cause it would tear apart his fairy tale world
If I did him wrong
