Lyrics
You have to swear
You've got love to love me, ah ah
That will last forever, ah ah
We must have a story, ah ah
With a happy ending, aaah
So don't ever go away
And never put aside
The things I'm gonna say
'Cause these are rules for us
Use your eyes
Only to look at me
Use your mouth
Only to kiss my lips
We are branches of the same old tree
You can laugh
Only if you laugh with me
You can cry
Only if you cry for me
Don't forget that you're condemned to me
Oh, can't you see?
You always were
You'll always be
You used to say
I should see a doctor, ah ah
Who would keep me busy? ah ah
'Cause a jealous woman
Never makes it easy, aaah
And you know I'll do for us
Whatever seems right
But it may take a while
Before I change the rules
Use your eyes
Only to look at me
Use your mouth
Only to kiss my lips
We are branches of the same old tree
You can laugh
Only if you laugh with me
You can cry
Only if you cry for me
Don't forget that you're condemned to me
Oh, can't you see?
You always were
You always were
So use your eyes
Only to look at me
Use your mouth
Only to kiss my lips
We are branches of the same old tree
You can laugh
Only if you laugh with me
You can cry
Only if you cry for me
Don't forget that you're condemned to me
Oh, can't you see?
You always were
You'll always be
Aaah, aaah
