I Dont Think Ill Fall in Love Today by George Gershwin Lyrics

(Verse 1)
[ANN]
Just think of what love leads to
Maybe marriage, maybe divorce

[NEIL]
Into a jam love speeds two
It may be nature's course
But we mustn't be
Like the other sheep

[ANN]
Better far if we
Look before we leap

[BOTH]
Perhaps it's better after all
If we don't answer nature's call

(Chorus 1)
[NEIL]
Who knows if we'd agree?
You like you and I like me
I don't think I'll fall in love today
[ANN]
When evening shadows creep
I like dancing

[NEIL]
I like sleep
I don't think I'll fall in love today

[ANN]
Still, it might be fun to bring
Your carpet slippers
When the dinner bell would ring
I'd serve a can of kippers

[NEIL]
Don't you know how to cook?

[ANN]
I could look in a book

[NEIL]
I don't think Ill fall in love today

(Verse 2)
Love is a fever chronic
We can avoid it. Why take a chance?
[ANN]
Safer to be platonic
Why burn up with romance?

[NEIL]
Adam without Eve
Happiness had known
So suppose we leave
Well enough alone?

[ANN]
Imagine signing up for life
Then finding peas roll off his knife

(Chorus 2)
[NEIL]
Do you sleep with window shut?

[ANN]
Window shut

[NEIL]
Charming, but
I don't think I'll fall in love today

[ANN]
Did you pick that cravat?
[NEIL]
I did that

[ANN]
Here's your hat
I don't think I'll fall in love today

[BOTH]
It's as clear as A-B-C
We're not agreeing
Incompatibility
The judge would be decreeing
When all is said and done
Seems we two will never be one
Let's oh, let's not fall in love today

(Chorus 3)
[ANN]
Do you play bridge or whist?

[NEIL]
I like pinochle

[ANN]
I insist
I don't think I'll fall in love today

[NEIL]
To what symphonies do you go?

[ANN]
All I know is "vo-de-o"

[NEIL]
I don't think I'll fall in love today
Is the combination wrong?
I've wondered lately

[ANN]
We should never get along
Not even companionately

[BOTH]
When all is said and done
Dear, we two will never be one
Let's oh, let's not fall in love today
