I'D Rather Be Safe Than Sorry

You wonder why I don't say, "I love you"
When we're all alone out in the pale moonlight
You wonder why I don't hold you closer
Whenever I'm kissing you goodnight

Or why I don't say I'm lost without you
When you tell me you can't live without my charms
Well, I'd rather be safe than be sorry
When I see you cuddled in another's arms

You'll find that I'm not like all the others
I'm not wearing my heart pinned on my sleeve
I'll keep it locked up until it's over
I don't want it broken when you leave

You've left a string of broken hearts behind you
It's the talk that's going all over town
And I'd rather be safe than be sorry
Sorry when they say you've turned me down
