When love fever swirls into passion

Making life seem a bed of roses

Its natural to applaud your lover

Dodging the questions love poses

 

Its a mistake to praise a lover

Never go overboard with salutes

With some lovers it goes to their head

Then they get too big for their boots

 

Rather refrain from acclamation

Go easy with those pats on the back

Remember that before too long

They might be giving you the sack

 

Its a mistake to praise a lover

Never go overboard with salutes

With some lovers it goes to their head

Then they get too big for their boots

 

Beguiled, I gave my love a standing ovation

I paid when she got ideas above her station

 

Its a mistake to praise a lover

Never go overboard with salutes

With some lovers it goes to their head

THen they get too big for their boots
