DON'T PUT IT ON

Don't put it on
Last night you were a vision of perfection
Leave your dresses in the armoir
As the evening addresses it's last au revoir
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 nightstand
There's no ornamenting your porcelain hand
And though the night is now dawn
Don't put it on

I love to watch you dress
I'm jealous how your silk caresses you
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
You're so wonderful
Why put on anything at all
Don't put it on
Don't put it on
And I love to watch you dress
I know your room's a mess
But don't put it on
