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
