Better Not Tell Her Carly Simon

[Verse 1]
Better not tell her that I was your lover
Better not make her jealous of me
Better convince her there was nothing between us
I'm not those initials in your diary

[Chorus]
But if you slip and my name comes up
Don't deny that you knew me
Just leave out the white nights, the moon in your window
The break in your whisper, the promises after

[Verse 2]
Better not tell her why you love Spanish dancing
Don't bother to say that it's hot in the summer in Madrid
Let it all go now like smoke from a candle
Like the trace of a song that you hear in the wind

[Chorus]
But if you slip and my name comes up
Don't deny that you knew me
Just leave out the white nights, the moon in your window
The break in your whisper, the promises after
Leave out the tears and the laughter
She won't need to know
That I cried when you left
That I think of you still
