Let's Misbehave

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
