Feeling your presence and knowing you're there
I'm looking across the room
Seeing your eyes meet mine
A chill runs up my spine
It's so wonderful, (Yes it is.) hoping you'll soon be mine
The stare I can't control
When you smile, your face all aglow
The way I feel for you is heavenly
Let your feelings show
You warm my soul
I just can't go on being your (Oh no.) secret lady
(Oh, oh, oh.) Mystery baby
You're the one I want
Yes you are
I just can't go on being your (Mmmm, hmmm.) secret lady
Mystery baby. (You're the one.)
You're the one I need
I wanted to be with you
Don't you know that no one else will do
But how can we ignore our needs?
So I'll open up, I'll open up my door if you run to me
I just can't go on being your secret lady
(Ahhhhhh, eh, eh, eh.)
I don't wanna be your mystery baby
You're the one I want
I just can't go on being your secret lady
(Mmmm, mmmm, mmmm, mmmm, mmmm.)
(No, no.) Mystery baby
You're the one I need
A chill runs up my spine and it drives me wild
Don't tell nobody
Don't want nobody to know
I just can't go on being your secret lady. (Oooh, oooh.)
I don't wanna be your mystery baby. (Oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh.)
(No.) You're the one I want
Hey, hey, hey
I just can't go on being your (I don't wanna) secret lady
(I don't wanna be your mystery baby.) Ohhh, no, no, no, no, 'cause you're the one
You're the one I need
Eh, uh, uh
Oh, what you mean to me
I adore you so
You mean the world to me
Can't ever let you go
(I just can't go on being your secret lady.)
I'm not gonna be your secret lady
No, not your mystery baby or nothing like that
You're the one I want
You told me it was all about me
(I just can't go on being your secret lady.)
I've come too far to be sneaking around
(I don't wanna be your mystery baby.)
Ohhhhhhhhhh, baby. (You're the one I need.)
(I just can't go on being your secret lady.) I just can't go on being...
(I don't wanna be your mystery baby.) I don't wanna go on being...
I wanna be with you. (You're the one I want.)
I talked to my girlfriend about it
(I just can't go on being your secret lady.) She said, "Give up."
(I don't wanna be your mystery baby.) Girl, don't give up
You're the one I need
Someone saw you hugging and kissing in the park
Acting like you had no other lover
(I don't wanna be your mystery baby.) You think you're smart
I'm not gonna go. (You're the one I want.)
I'm not gonna go and tell her what you've been here for
(I just can't go on being your secret lady.)
Eeeeee, hee, eeeee, eee, eee, eee, eee, eee, eee, eee, hee, eee, eee
(I don't wanna be your mystery baby.)
You're the one I need
