Let's Misbehave

Lyrics

You could have a great career

And you should, yes you should

Only one thing stops you dear

You're too good, way too good

If you want a future, darlin'

Why don't you get a past?

'Cause that fateful moment's comin' at last

We're all alone, no chaperone

Can get our number

The world's in slumber

Let's misbehave

There's something wild about you child

That's so contagious

Let's be outrageous

Let's misbehave

When Adam won Eve's hand

He wouldn't stand for teasin'

He didn't care about those apples out of season

They say that spring means just one thing

To little lovebirds

We're not above birds

Let's misbehave

It's getting late and while I wait

My poor heart aches on

Why keep the brakes on?

Let's misbehave

I feel quite sure un peu d'amour

Would be attractive

While we're still active

Let's misbehave

You know my heart is true

And you say you for me care

Somebody's sure to tell

But what the heck do we care?

They say that bears have love affairs

And even camels

We're merely mammals

Let's misbehave
