Lyrics

[Verse 1]

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 kinda 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

[Verse 2]

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

[Verse 3]

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

[Verse 4]

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

[Verse 5]

This kinda 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

[Verse 6]

Won't even think about a goodbye kiss

We really shouldn't be doing this
