Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell Lyrics by Shelley Thomas, Jared Zeus

Zanna, Don’t!

2003

[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
