Let's not be too in love for we're not new at love
Suggests caution in becoming too deeply involved in a relationship
And we must realize it may last
Acknowledges the potential longevity of the relationship
Let's have it understood that darling if we should
Agreement to be clear that if separation is necessary, it must happen
We'll have to break the ties as in the past
Acknowledgment of the possibility of ending the relationship
Enjoy my company have lots of fun with me
Encouragement to enjoy each other's company and have fun
For we know it could be a sad affair
Acknowledgment of the potential for the relationship to end sadly
Although I tell you this I know your tender kiss
Admission that despite knowing the risks, affection has grown
Has made me too in love with you to care
Admitting deep emotional attachment despite the risks
Let's not be too in love for we're not new at love
Reiteration of caution due to past experiences in love
We know what it's like for hearts to cry
Acknowledgment of the pain experienced in previous relationships
Then if we have to part it won't break our heart
Expressing the belief that separation won't devastate them
We won't be too in love to say goodbye
Commitment not to be too emotionally attached to say goodbye
Let me have dates with you and stay out late with you
Desire for companionship and shared experiences
And learn to laugh about this old affair
Willingness to find humor in the situation despite risks
Although I tell you this I know your tender kiss
Reaffirmation of deep emotional attachment despite warnings
Has made me too in love with you to care
Reiteration of strong emotional connection despite the risks
