Don't tell

Don't tell
She was just seventeen.
How could I know this was the first time?
Lying down by the sea,
she said to me: "You'll be the first one."
Was leaning this close to me,
then she whispered in my ear:
Don't tell, don't tell, don't tell,
don't tell, don't tell, don't tell.

Don't tell my mama, 'cause she'll be upset.
Don't tell my mama, 'cause she'll be afraid.
How could she ever understand
the way we live, the way we are?
Don't tell my mama, 'cause she'll be upset.
Don't tell my mama, 'cause she'll be afraid.
Don't tell my mama 'cause she doesn't know
the way we feel, the way we love.
Don't tell my mama.
Don't tell my mama.
