Song lyrics to Don’t Mention Love to Me, Music by Oscar Levant, Lyrics by Dorothy Fields, Sung by Ginger Rogers in the movie In Person
My heart is not a plaything
Parting is not a gay thing
Darling, don’t mention love to me
Romance may bring us sorrow
Let’s be friends on the morrow
Darling, don’t mention love to me
I can’t like you discreetly
No halfway measures with me
I must love you completely
If this should end, where would I be?
You smile, I’m overpowered
I’d fall, but I’m a coward
Darling, don’t mention love to me
There is one thing I know
If I let myself go
And our lips should ever touch
I would love you much too much
It is better far to share
Just a casual affair
So, before a kiss is born
I must tell you this to warn you
You smile, I’m overpowered
I’d fall, but I’m a coward
Darling, don’t mention love to me
