We really shouldn't be F#7doin' this
And we both know Bwhy
Just bein' close enough to F#7think like this
Enough to make you need to Blie
This kind of talk will lead us B7to somewhere
We're getting way too close to Egoin' thereC#m7  
The farther off, the better F#7to resist
We really shouldn't be Bdoin' this
Only an isolated F#7incident
But the aquainence left me Bstunned
The first attraction was the F#7hardest hit
I thought I'd ever over Bcome
This kind of situation B7has to pass
This chance encounter has to Ebe the lastC#m7  
To take it farther we would F#7be remiss
We really shouldn't be Bdoin' this
Solo
We'd each be hurtin' some B7body else
If we don't say our good Ebyes real fastC#m7  
Won't even think about a F#7farwell kiss
We really shouldn't be Bdoin' this
Well----(No Chord), We really shouldn't be F#7doin' this
And we both know Bwhy
Just bein' close enough to F#7think like this
Enough to make me have to Blie
This kind of talk can lead us B7to somewhere
We're getting way too close to Egoin' thereC#7  
The farther off, the better F#to resist
We really shouldn't be Bdoin' this
This kind of situation B7has to pass
This chance encounter has to Ebe the lastC#m7  
To take it farther we would F#7be remiss
We really shouldn't be Bdoin' this
Won't even think about a F#7goodbye kiss
We really shouldn't be Bdoin' this
