Don't stand too close to this broken heart of mine
Well if you do you're looking at a serious crime
To love and obey, the whole night through
Don't stand too close to you know who

Don't get too near these tear drops of mine
They're fallin' like rain from a gray, gray sky
Don't swim the river unless you want me too
Don' stand too close to you know who

Well, if your gonna love me baby
Tell just exactly what you want to do
Tell me that our love will never fade
To a lighter shade of blue, lighter blue, oh no

Don't stand too near these lonesome arms of mine
They'll hold you a prisoner for a lonesome crime
Don't take my hand unless you want me too
Don't stand too close to you know who

Don't get too near these tear drops of mine
There fallin' like rain from a gray, gray sky
Don't swim the river unless you want me too
Don't stand too close to you know who
Don't stand too close to you know who
Don't stand too close to you know who
