Lyrics

Don’t Put It On

Don’t put it on

Last night you were

A vision perfection

Leave your dresses in the armoire

As the evening addresses it’s last aurevoir

I think we left your scarf on the lawn

And don’t put it on

 

Don’t put it on

I’m begging you dear

Now that the dawn is near

Leave your jewelry on the night stand

There’s no ornamenting your porcelain hand

And though the night is now dawn

 

I love to watch you dress

I’m jealous how your silk caresses

You are so wonderful

Why put on anything at all?

Don’t put it on

 

Don’t put it on

Your naked eyes

awake to the rising sun

Leave your perfume on the table

Leave your lipstick to stain my lapel

Your lace, your gloves, your ribbons

Don’t put it on

 

I love to watch you dress

I’m jealous how your silk caresses

You are so wonderful

Why put on anything at all?

Don’t put it on

Don’t put it on

I love to watch you dress

I know your rooms a mess

But don’t put it on
