Let Me Tell You About Her

I wasn't very indiscreet and yet That is a notion that I might as well forget Friends look at me these days with fond surprise But when I start to speak they roll their eyes Let me tell you about her Hush now, I've said too much There's something indescribable I can't quite catch Let me tell you about her The way that she makes me feel Then draw a curtain on this scene I shan't reveal Some things are too personal Too intimate to spill And gentlemen don't speak of them And this one never will I wasn't very conversational Accept to say that, "You're sensational" Friends now regard me with indulgent smiles But when I start to speak they run for miles Let me tell you about her Hush now, I've said too much There's something indescribable I can't quite catch Let me tell you about her The way that she makes me feel Then draw a curtain on this scene I shan't reveal
