Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell

Lyrics

[STEVE, KATE (spoken)] Am I dead? Shhh! Are you an angel? No. Just a woman You healed me. How? Through an open mind You are an angel Shhh! We mustn't! [STEVE, KATE (sung)] Can I do this? Don't ask Can I think this? Don't tell Can I feel this? Don't say anything; We both know very well But if I feel this Don't ask I want to tell you Don't tell I want to say to you Don't say anything; Just what this is We both know very well [KATE] If we parachute into battle And you happen to get stuck in a tree And I cut you loose and then run away Without telling you it was me That is how I'll kiss you [STEVE, KATE, BOTH] If we're ever in the same tank or submarine And I refuse to share your periscope? Then you'll know what I mean; That is how I'll kiss you Don't ask don't tеll don't ask [STEVE, KATE, BOTH (spoken)] Here. Take my dog tag As a mеmento Of a love that could never be! Don't tell [MIKE, ROBERTA (spoken)] Wow, that was great! I'm so proud of you This show is really going to help fight heterophobia Oh, listen, honey, I've gotta get to the diner And I've gotta run to chess practice We'll see you guys later You two were perfect [STEVE, KATE (sung)] If I pass you in the hall And I turn my eyes away; If I have to say hello to you And I don't say your name? That is how I'll kiss you If I see you, and I sit across the room; If I meet you in a group of friends And turn my back on you? That is how I'll kiss you I wish our lives could go on That is how I'll kiss you Within the confines of this song That is how I'll kiss you For once it ends, what will be there That is how I'll kiss you Only the silence I can't bear Can I do this? Don't ask Can I think this? Don't tell Can I feel this? Don't say anything; We both know very well But if I feel this Don't ask I want to tell you Don't tell I want to say to you Don't say anything Just what this is We both know very well [STEVE, KATE (spoken)] See ya Yeah. See ya
