Associates 18 Carat Love Affair Lyrics

I told you not to meet me here
I can't be seen with you whispering in my ear
I don't mind holding hands
But not in front of company
It's not the done thing 'round here, baby

Next weekend we'll be on our own
And we can spend some time together all alone
But if she knew what I was doing
She'd throw the ring back in my face
An 18 carat love affair
Would then be stamped "repair"
So we can't be seen in this place

Love affair
An 18 carat love affair
I don't know which side I'm on
But my friend John said not to care Love affair
An 18 carat love affair
She might write to Evelyn home
If left alone and in despair

Please don't leave any clues around
The last time we...
She found some lipstick on the ground
I said an Avon girl had called
Free samples on display
She left her card
But I threw it away

But if she knew what I was doing
She'd throw the ring back in my face
An 18 carat love affair
Would then be stamped "repair"
So we can't be seen in this place
Love
An 18 carat love affair
