Do Not Stir Up My Love

VERSE 1

I am my beloveds’, my beloved is mine

He's drawing me after him, his love is stronger than wine

Because of thine ointments, the virgins love thee

She's stirring me up, daughter of Jerusalem

 

CHORUS

But do not stir up

Do not stir up

Do not stir up

My love, my love, my love, mmm

 

VERSE 2

How beautiful you are, my darling, thou art fair

Your eyes are like doves, your lips are like lilies

Your hair is like a flock of goats, your teeth like a flock of sheep

She's stirring me up, daughter of Jerusalem

 

CHORUS

But do not stir up

Do not stir up

Do not stir up

My love, my love, my love

Oooh woooah

My love, my love, my love

 

INTERLUDE

 

VERSE 3

Listen! 

Your neck is like the tower, your two breasts are like twins

Your cheeks are like spices, sweet as a flower

Thou art all fair, my love; there is no spot in thee

She's stirring me up, daughter of Jerusalem

 

CHORUS

But do not stir up, oh oh 

Do not stir up

Do not stir up

My love, my love, my love

 

VERSE 4

Turn your eyes away from me for they have overcome me

You are beautiful oh my love, thou art pleasant

His arm embraces me, his voice overcomes me

She's stirring me up, daughter of Jerusalem

VERSE 5

I charge you, O daughters of Jerusalem

Do not stir up my love until he please

There's a time for love, this is not the time

When it pleases him we will share our love

But do not stir up, no no no no 

Do not stir up, woah

Do not stir up

My love, my love, my love

 

Tell it to that sister 

Do not stir up, wooah oh oh
