You ask me not to wear cologne
She´ll know you´ve been with me alone
And you can´t take our secret home
So you ask me not to wear cologne

You can wipe the make up off
The lipstick or a little gloss
But fragrance lingers on and on
So you ask me not to wear cologne

You leave my bed and go to hers
Leaving me alone and hurt
I love you whether right or wrong
And you ask me not to wear cologne

I´m not out to hurt someone
Not you, not her, not any one
But I got heartaches of my own
Why, I can´t even wear cologne

Oh but I never meant for this to be
It wasn´t in my heart to cheat
Love has a nature all it´s own
So I willingly gave up cologne

And every time you come to me
I realize I´m in too deep
I know you love us both and I keep holding on
You ask me not to wear cologne

You say, "Don´t wear cologne"

Oh now what am I ever gonna do
Cause I am so in love with you
I know you love us both
But where do I belong
You ask me not to wear cologne

You ask me not to wear cologne
She´ll know you´ve been with me alone
And you can´t take our secret home
So you ask me not to wear cologne

How do I walk away from the greatest love I´ve known
You ask me not to wear cologne
Oh you ask me not to wear cologne

You ask me not to wear cologne
She´ll know you´ve been with me alone
And I´m a scent you can´t take home
But will I ever get to wear cologne
