Keep It a Secret

[Intro]
Every day of my life, I wonder
How long can it go on this way?

[Verse 1]
After hours in a small café
Holding hands and planning our getaway
Trying our best to stay out of sight
We meet in the darkness to hide from the light
You know we got too much at stake
We take a chance on giving ourselves away

[Chorus]
We got to keep it a secret, along
Just between me and you
Just between me and you
We got to keep it a secret, oh
And don’t give no one else a clue

[Verse 2]
We can’t afford
To let anyone else know
If we meet on the street
We can’t even say hello
It’s hard trying to live
This double life
We’re strangers by day
And lovers by night
I’d like to tell the world
How I feel about you
But right now
I really can’t tell the truth

[Chorus]
We got to keep it a secret, yes, we have
Just between me and you, oh
Just between me and you
We got to keep it a secret, sho’ nuff
Don’t give no one else a clue
Don’t give no one else a clue

[Bridge]
We got to, yes, we have
I don’t dare tell no one
And you know why
It’s a secret, baby
I’ll keep my part
I’d like to tell the world
How I feel about you
But right now
We can’t really tell the truth

[Chorus]
We got to keep it a secret, yes, we have, baby
Just between me and you, oh
Just between me and you
I can’t tell nobody, no, Lord
Keep it a secret
I don’t dare tell no one
Don’t give no one else a clue

[Outro]
I can’t tell my mother
Keep it a secret
I can’t tell my father
I can’t tell my sister
Not even my brother
Keep it a secret
I can’t tell no one
Not even my closest friend, no, Lord
I’m kind of jealous about it
Keep it a secret
Wish I could tell somebody
But my hands are tied
It’s so good to me sometimes
Keep it a secret
I get fightin’ mad about it
Seems like I
Keep it a secret
I better not tell nobody
I can’t reveal a thing
About me and you
Keep it a secret
