[Verse 1]
You have to swear you've got love to love me
Uh-uh, that will last forever
Uh-uh, we must have a story
Uh-uh, with a happy ending
Ahh, so don't ever go away
And never put aside the things I'm gonna say
‘Cause these are rules for us

[Chorus]
Use your eyes only to look at me
Use your mouth only to kiss my lips
We are branches of the same old tree
You can laugh, only if you laugh with me
You can cry, only if you cry for me
Don't forget that you're condemned to me
Oh, can't you see?
You always were, you'll always be

[Verse 2]
You used to say
I should see a doctor, uh-uh, who would keep me busy, uh-uh
‘Cause a jealous woman never makes it easy
Ahh, and you know I'll do for us whatever seems right
Ah-ah, but it may take awhile before I change the rules

[Chorus]
Use your eyes only to look at me
Use your mouth only to kiss my lips
We are branches of the same old tree
You can laugh only if you laugh with me
You can cry only if you cry for me
Don't forget that you're condemned to me
Oh, can't you see? You always were, you always were
Ohh, oh-oh-oh

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
So use your eyes only to look at me
Use your mouth only to kiss my lips
We are branches of the same old tree
You can laugh only if you laugh with me
You can cry only if you cry for me
Don't forget that you're condemned to me
Oh, can't you see? You always were, you'll always be
Ah-ah-ah
