People Will Say We're in Love

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"People Will Say We're In Love" was written by Oscar Hammerstein II and composed by Richard Rodgers for the musical Oklahoma!. It is sung by Curly McLane and Laurey Williams as a duet.

The other characters think, correctly, that Laurey and Curly are in love. In this song they warn each other not to behave indiscreetly lest people misinterpret their intentions. Neither wants to admit to the other -- or themselves -- his or her true feelings. At the end of the musical the characters reprise the number.
