Lyrics

You have to swear

You must promise

You've got love to love me

You need to possess love in order to love me

Uh-uh, that will last forever

That love should endure indefinitely

Uh-uh, we must have a story

We need to have a shared narrative or history

Uh-uh, with a happy ending

This narrative or history should conclude happily

Ah, so don't ever go away

So, please don't ever leave

And never put aside

And never ignore or neglect

The things I'm gonna say

The things I'm about to express

'Cause these are rules for us

Because these are guidelines for our relationship


Use your eyes only to look at me

Direct your eyes solely towards me

Use your mouth only to kiss my lips

Use your mouth exclusively to kiss my lips

We are branches of the same old tree

We are interconnected parts of the same history or background

You can laugh only if you laugh with me

You're allowed to laugh only if it's in harmony with me

You can cry only if you cry for me

You're permitted to cry only if it's for me or because of me

Don't forget that you're condemned to me

Remember that you're bound to me

Can't you see

Can't you perceive?

You always were

You always have been

You'll always be

You will always remain


You used to say

You used to advise

I should see a doctor

That I should seek medical help

Uh-uh, who would keep me busy

Someone who would keep me occupied or distracted

Uh-uh, 'cause a jealous woman

Because a possessive or suspicious woman

Never makes it easy

Makes the situation difficult or complicated

Ah, and you know I'll do for us

And you know I'll do whatever is necessary for both of us

Whatever seems right

Whatever appears appropriate

But it may take a while

But it might take some time

Before I change the rules

Before I alter the guidelines or rules


Use your eyes only to look at me

Direct your eyes solely towards me

Use your mouth only to kiss my lips

Use your mouth exclusively to kiss my lips

We are branches of the same old tree

We are interconnected parts of the same history or background

You can laugh only if you laugh with me

You're allowed to laugh only if it's in harmony with me

You can cry only if you cry for me

You're permitted to cry only if it's for me or because of me

Don't forget that you're condemned to me

Remember that you're bound to me

Oh, can't you see

Oh, can't you perceive?

You always were

You always have been

You always were

-

Oh oh oh, oh, oh, oh


So use your eyes only to look at me

Direct your eyes solely towards me

Use your mouth only to kiss my lips

Use your mouth exclusively to kiss my lips

We are branches of the same old tree

We are interconnected parts of the same history or background

You can laugh only if you laugh with me

You're allowed to laugh only if it's in harmony with me

You can cry only if you cry for me

You're permitted to cry only if it's for me or because of me

Don't forget that you're condemned to me

Remember that you're bound to me

Can't you see

Can't you perceive?

You always were

You always have been

You'll always be

You will always remain

Aah, aah
