People Will Think We Are in Love

True Cowboy Romance
For those who adore the film version of the musical Oklahoma, you will definitely appreciate the romantic fervor of this song sung by Gordon McRae and Shirley Jones.

Absolutely precise in terms of indicator actions and feelings of a blooming romance.

Enjoy these lyrics.

Go to You-tube to enjoy the song.

LAUREY ( Shirley)

Why do they think up stories that link my name with yours? 

CURLY (Gordon)

Why do the neighbors chatter all day, behind their doors? 

LAUREY

I know a way to prove what they say is quite untrue. 
Here is the gist, a practical list of "don'ts" for you. 
Don't throw bouquets at me 
Don't please my folks too much 
Don't laugh at my jokes too much 
People will say we're in love! 

Don't sigh and gaze at me 
Your sighs are so like mine 
Your eyes mustn't glow like mine 
People will say we're in love! 

Don't start collecting things 
Give me my rose and my glove. 
Sweetheart they're suspecting things 
People will say we're in love. 

CURLY

Some people claim that you are to blame as much as I.
Why do y' take the trouble to bake my favorite pie?
Grantin' your wish, I carved our initials on that tree.
Jist keep a slice of all the advice you give so free.

Don't praise my charm too much 
Don't look so vain with me 
Don't stand in the rain with me 
People will say we're in love! 

Don't take my arm too much 
Don't keep your hand in mine 
Your hand feels so grand in mine 
People will say we're in love! 

Don't dance all night with me 
Till the stars fade from above. 
They'll see it's alright with me 
People will say we're in love.
