Lyrics
You’ve got me on the brink of a new affair
And though I’m in the pink for a new affair
I don’t know what to think of a new affair with you
Oh! what can I do?
Refrain
“Fall in love, fall in love” says my heart
“It’s romance, take a chance” says my heart
But each time that I’m almost in your arms
This old school-teacher brain of mine
Keeps ringing in false alarms
Then my head rules instead and I’m wise
To the scheme of that gleam in your eyes
So I kiss and run, but the moment we’re apart
“Oh! you fool that was love!” says my heart
