Better Not Tell Her

Carly Simon

Better not tell her, that I was your lover 
Better not make her jealous of me 
Better convince her there was nothing between us 
I'm not those initials in your diary 
But if you slip and my name comes up 
Don't deny that you knew me 
Just leave out the white nights 
The moon in your window 
The break in your whisper 
The promises after 

Better not tell her why you love Spanish dancing 
Don't bother to say that it's hot in the summer in Madrid 
Let it all go now, Like smoke from a candle 
Like the trace of a song that you hear in the wind 
But if you slip and my name comes up 
Don't deny that you knew me 
Just leave out the white nights 
The moon in your window 
The break in your whisper 
The promises after 
Leave out the tears and the laughter 
She won't need to know 
That I cried when you left 
That I think of you still 

But if you slip and my name comes up 
Don't deny that you knew me 
Just leave out the white nights 
The moon in your window 
The break in your whisper 
The promises after 
Leave out the tears and the laughter 
She won't need to know 
That I'd die for your love 
That I still...love...you
