WHAT ARE YOU AFRAID OF?
(Robert Wells / Jack Segal)

as recorded by Vikki Carr
with Orchestra conducted by Bob Florence
1963


Come a little closer,
Stay a little longer,
Now the gang has gone
Put some records on;
What are you afraid of?

Make yourself at home now,
You know you can trust me
If I dim the light,
Since the fire is bright,
What are you afraid of?

Who's to know
You let yourself go
A kiss or so astray?
Hi-ho the merry-o,
Blame it on the stereo,
All the way!

Honey, take your shoes off,
We're not going dancing!
Kiss me like before,
Let the fire roar,
Throw another pillow on the floor!
Love what love is made of,
What are you afraid of?

Well, who's to know
That you let yourself go
A kiss or so astray?
Hi-ho the merry-o,
Blame it on the stereo,
All the way!

Honey, take your shoes off,
We're not goin' dancing!
Kiss me like before,
Let the fire roar,
Throw another pillow on the floor!
Love what love is made of,
Oh what are you afraid of?

Come a little closer,
Oh, stay a little longer,
Why, are you afraid?
