I Don't Think Love Ought To Be That Way

Mel Wilkerson

Circle Left
I'm feeling so fine and you're looking so good
I'd like to get together, oh Lord I wish we could
Allemande that Corner, come back you DoSaDo
Men Star Left – one time and go
Turn Partner by the Right hand around
Find the Corner girl – Allemande Left and Promenade
But there's someone at home, who's depending on me
And she would never know, if I set my passions free

You say a precious moment is all that it would be
That I'd forget about you, and you'd forget me
...
Oh I love what you're saying, it's tempting me so
And though I love to hear it, there's no way I'll let go

I'm feeling so fine and you're looking so good
I'd like to get together, oh Lord I wish we could
...
I could tell her a lie and I know that I'd get by
But I don't think love ought to be that way

Head two Ladies Chain go straight across that ring
Sides Promenade ½ way
Side Ladies Chain go straight across you go
Heads Promenade halfway and go
Men Star Right but on the third girl
Allemande Left your Corner, come back and Promenade
I could tell her a lie and I know that I'd get by
But I don't think love ought to be that way
