[Chorus]
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

[Verse 1]
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

[Verse 2]
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

[Verse 3]
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

[Verse 4]
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

[Verse 5]
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"

[Verse 6]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 7]
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

[Verse 8]
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

Dolly Rebecca Parton (born January 19, 1946) is an American singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, actress, author, and philanthropist, best known for her work in country music

Beginning her career as a child performer, Parton issued a few modestly successful singles from 1959 through the mid-1960s, showcasing her distinctive soprano voice. She came to greater prominence in 1967 as a featured performer on singer Porter Wagoner’s weekly television program; their first duet single, a cover of Tom Paxton’s “The Last Thing on My Mind”, was a top-ten hit on the country singles charts, and led to several successful albums before they ended their partnership in 1974. Moving towards mainstream pop music, Parton’s 1977 single “Here You Come Again” was a success on both the country and pop charts. A string of pop-country hits followed into the mid-1980s, the most successful being her 1981 hit 9 to 5" (from the film of the same name), and her 1983 duet with Kenny Rogers “Islands in the Stream”, both of which topped the U.S. pop and country singles charts. A pair of albums recorded with Linda Ronstadt and Emmylou Harris were among her later successes. In the late 1990s, Parton returned to classic country/bluegrass with a series of acclaimed recordings
