[Verse 1]
Everybody saw you get your coat
And everybody heard your bad excuse for leaving
Say “I’m going out for a smoke”
No one has to know about our little secret
Meet you there
In the dark
I won’t say anything
If you don’t
[Chorus]
So don’t tell
I swear I won’t tell on you
On you
Don’t tell
I swear I won’t tell
[Verse 2]
Used to have a heart of gold
Now I’m staying up at night
Your dirty little dreamer
Always ready to reload
At your command
Wish I could keep you
Synchronised
On demand
As we fantasise
What they can’t know
[Chorus]
Oh, don’t tell
I swear I won’t tell on you
On you
Don’t tell
I swear I won’t tell
[Bridge]
I know it’s hard to bear
Hiding everywhere
Trying to forget
Keeping it on the down-low
I wish we’d skip a beat
Give up this hide-and-seek
Think I just changed my mind
Let’s just let everybody know
[Chorus]
Don’t tell
I swear I won’t tell on you
On you
Don’t tell
I swear I won’t tell on you
On you
Don’t tell
I swear I won’t tell

Mike Kerr:
This was another leftover idea from writing “Lights Out” with John Barrett. We were listening to a Beck song called “Debra.” It has a ridiculously high vocal, and John was like, ‘Can you sing that high?’ I said, ‘At karaoke, I can, yeah.’ I think we were writing a song for John, because...
