Please Don't Fall In Love

Cliff Richard · The Platinium Collection [2005]

Please don't fall in love



I know that you're with him just now as I write

I know you need someone to hold you at night

But I'm begging you, baby

Please don't fall in love

I knew it might happen when I was away

And now that it's happened, I just want to say

That I'm begging you, baby

Please don't fall in love



I'm usually strong but I'm feeling so weak

It wells up inside me, I cry when I speak

But the more I call you on the phone

The more I feel alone

And the less we have to say



I know that you're with him just now as I write

I know you need someone to hold you at night

But I'm begging you, baby

Please don't fall in love

I knew it might happen when I was away

And now that it's happened, I just want to say

That I'm begging you, baby

Please don't fall in love



We kissed at the airport, we said we could wait

I believe it is we who determine our fate

And I love you more than I can say

Don't throw it all away

Don't let it go by



I know that you're with him just now as I write

I know you need someone to hold you at night

But I'm begging you, baby

Please don't fall in love

I know you don't tell me, to spare me the pain

Don't want you to tell me, I don't need his name

That I'm begging you, baby

Please don't fall in love
