"We Really Shouldn't Be Doing This" lyrics

We Really Shouldn't Be Doing This

We really shouldn't be doing this
And we both know why
Just being close enough to think like this
Enough to make you need to lie

This kind of talk will lead us to somewhere
We're getting way too close to going there
The farther off, the better to resist
We really shouldn't be doing this

Only an isolated incident
But the acquaintance left me stunned
The first attraction was the hardest hit
I thought I'd ever overcome

This kinda situation has to pass
This chance encounter has to be the last
To take it further we would be remiss
We really shouldn't be doing this

We'd each be hurting somebody else
If we don't say our goodbyes real fast
Won't even think about a farewell kiss
We really shouldn't be doing this
Well

We really shouldn't be doing this
And we both know why
Just being close enough to think like this
Enough to make me have to lie

This kind of talk will lead us to somewhere
We're getting way too close to going there
The farther off, the better to resist
We really shouldn't be doing this

This kinda situation has to pass
This chance encounter has to be the last
To take it further we would be remiss
We really shouldn't be doing this

Won't even think about a goodbye kiss
We really shouldn't be doing this
