Thou Shalt Not Covet

### Thou Shalt Not Covet (Verse 1) “Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor’s wife,” A sacred commandment, guiding life. Written without a vav, a deeper plea, Do not cause yourself to be coveted, be free. (Chorus) Don't beautify yourself for another’s eyes, Instill not love where trouble lies. Appear not desirable to your neighbor's spouse, Keep purity and faith within your house. (Verse 2) “Thou shalt not covet,” a warning so clear, Praise not a pretty woman for others to hear. For in your words, pursuit may start, And sin will lie within your heart. (Chorus) Don't beautify yourself for another’s eyes, Instill not love where trouble lies. Appear not desirable to your neighbor's spouse, Keep purity and faith within your house. (Bridge) Derive not pleasure from beauty that's vain, Let Shekhina's splendor be your gain. From an unmarried woman, turn your sight, And from a married one, with all your might. (Chorus) Don't beautify yourself for another’s eyes, Instill not love where trouble lies. Appear not desirable to your neighbor's spouse, Keep purity and faith within your house. (Outro) “Thou shalt not covet,” let it be your guide, In every thought, let purity reside. Enjoy the splendor of the divine, In His beauty, let your heart align.
