Please don't tell me how great I am  
If you're just gonna walk away  
Frankly, I don't give a damn  
I'm here now, let's live the day  
  
Don't let's wait another year  
Before we dare embrace again  
Falter to love and not to fear  
Spread wide your heart, let love begin  
  
Please don't waste another word  
In lieu of love, then run from me  
They're all the same; they've all been heard  
Don't tell us both I'm best left free  
  
When it's excitement in your ear  
And rambling thoughts that sound like fear  
In the stillness of your heart's rush  
Remains a shadowed, joyful blush  
  
You found a soul with wide-spread heart  
Engaged a mind whose life is art  
So, come back, now, to widespread arms  
I'll thrill you with feminine charms  
  
Don't tell me, please, how great I am  
If you'll deign to walk away  
*"Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn";* 
*Carpe amorem,* seize me today
