Se mirara sospechoso y se porque quieren saber
Piensan en desgracia y quiren a mi mujer
Y si miran solo esto que, chismes hablaran
Pues mi mujer me conoce a mi y mi vida no la
mandaran
Aqui vamos por la calle caminando
lentamente
Tu mano en mi mano ¿que pensara la gente?
Si miran solo esto que cosas ricas hablaran;
Pues mi mujer me conoce a mi
Asi mi vida no la mandaran

My wife knows me
So ??? no need to let the neighbors run my life
Remember from when I was over at Jill's house
Oh yes we remember
Remember when Ed was away ???
We stayed up late at night talking
She and I had much to say
She said Jonathan you must go now
If you stay on the couch even
In the morning the rumors will be all around
I said ok, this is one way of handling it
And I suppose for me, I can't allow the neighbors that much power over my life
I don't like it
No need to let the neighbors run my life
No no
No no
[I'm going to Paris pretty soon I'll do a song that I'm going to translate into French for the French folks, it's a song called 'I'm not, The Neighbours gave me ideas well I like the neighbours ok but I can't let them run my life you know]

What will the neighbors tell your wife?
[Then I say]
Don't worry, my wife trusts me
And there's no need to let the neighbors run my life
No, no need to let the neighbors run my life, no no
[Then I say]
Well it would look suspicious
And I know why they'd want to know [it's sort of understandable]
You know they like my wife
They don't want to see her get hurt and so
[Yeah I understand what you mean
If seeing me and you together is all they see, they don't see the whole story, sure]
I couldn't blame 'em if they go and tell my wife
[But on the other hand]
My wife knows me better than that
So there's no need to let the neighbors run my life
No, no need to let the neighbors run my life, [hey lou, the sound is fine now, I like this]
[Then she says]
But Jonathan, here we are down the street
Here we are hand in hand
[Yeah]
Well, You're close to me,
Won't people misunderstand?
[Well it's very possible they could]
Well, if that's all they see, yeah
It would be hard to blame them if they go and tell my wife
[Don't worry]
Wife trusts me [that's a good thing, I'm glad ??? much better than it could be you see
That way, that way ??? the good thing is that I don't]
Need to let the neighbors run my life
No, no need to let the neighbors run my life
[Dear do you know,
Do you remember that time when]
I was over at Jill's house
[Oh yes, I remember]
Remember when Ed was away

We had much to say
Well, well she said 'Jonathan you better not stay here on this couch, you better just go'
'Cause if you stay here, the rumors will be ripe'
Well that's one way of handling the situation I suppose
But for me I just can't give the neighbors that much power over my life
I can't let the neighbors run my life
No, no
No, no
One more
No, no
Well Jonathan it's late,
[Yeah, you think it's late?]
But don't you think that I should go
[Actually I don't you see]
We were just starting to talk you know,
It was just getting good don't you know
But if I leave here in the morning
What will the neighbors tell your wife?
[That's a good question, don't worry about that]
My wife knows me very well
So there's no need to let the neighbors run my life
No,
No need to let the neighbors run my life,
No no
I grant you that it would look *more reverb*
I grant you that it would look suspicious
And I know why they'd want to know
Well they love my wife
They don't want to see her hurt her and so
If they see me and you together
If that's all they see
How could I blame 'em if they go and tell my wife
But my wife knows me much better than that
So there's no need to let the neighbors run my life
No,
That's right
No need to let the neighbors run my life,
No no
Here we are down the street
Here we are hand in hand
[I suppose]
You're close to me
People might misunderstand
Why, I guess
If that's all they see,
It would be hard to blame them if they go and tell my wife
But my wife knows me better than that
That's why I don't need to let the neighbors run my life ???
No,
I just don't want to give the neighbours that much power over my life
No no
They're well meaning

That's all it was
Well we had a lot to say
In fact, the whole thing started
You see, she said, Jonathan
You better go now
You better not stay even on the couch
For night, no no
The rumours would be ripe
???
??? Handle the situation I suppose
For me I just can't give the neighbours
That much power over my life
No
I don't want to let the neighbours run my life
No no
Again
No no
One more
No no
(Well Jonathan it's late, don't you think that I should go?)
We were just starting to talk Ellie,

(But if I leave here in the morning)
Yeah
(What will the neighbors tell your wife?)
My wife knows me very well
There's no need to let the neighbors run my life
(No), no need to let the neighbors run my life, (no no)
Well it would look suspicious
And I know why the neighbours would want to know
You see they like my wife
They don't want her hurt and so
Well if that's all they see
It would be hard to blame 'em let them go and tell my wife
But my wife knows me very well
Why should I let the neighbors run my life?
(No), no need to let the neighbors run my life, (no no)
(Here we are down the street
Here we are hand in hand
You're close to me, people might misunderstand)
If that's all they see,
It would be hard to blame them if they go and think they should tell my wife
My wife knows me
I can't stand letting the neighbours running our life you know
(No)
I just can't stand letting the neighbors run my life
(No no)
???
[But I was over at Jill's house, remember that?
