I Will Not Fall In Love

Thank you for the lampoon A bachelor must be mocked Like a kite by a free-range hen I know I am old enough To get myself a bride! But I dread falling in love Falling means to lose control Falling means pain Falling calls for help: from within and without If I get hurt, will I get the within help for the without one is often unreliable? I want to walk into love Ka, ka, ka, ka Swiftly; each calculated step at a time And if I change my mind, I will retract my steps Ka, ka, ka, ka Back to the freedom shore!
