Cologne - Dolly Parton

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
