[Verse 1]
All men have secrets and here is mine
So let it be known
For we have been through hell and high tide
I can surely rely on you?
And yet you start to recoil
Heavy words are so lightly thrown
But still I'd leap in front of a flying bullet for you
[Chorus 1]
So, what difference does it make?
So, what difference does it make?
It makes none
But now you have gone
And you must be looking very old tonight
[Verse 2]
The devil will find work for idle hands to do
I stole and I lied, and why?
Because you asked me to!
But now you make me feel so ashamed
Because I've only got two hands
But I'm still fond of you, oh-ho-oh
[Chorus 2]
So, what difference does it make? (Oooooh)
What difference does it make? (Oooooh)
It makes none
But now you have gone
And your prejudice won't keep you warm tonight
[Verse 3]
Oh, the devil will find work for idle hands to do
I stole, and then I lied
Just because you asked me to
But now you know the truth about me
You won't see me anymore
Well, I'm still fond of you, oh-ho-oh
[Chorus 3]
But no more apologies
No, no more apologies
Oh, I'm too tired
I'm so very tired
And I'm feeling very sick and ill today
[Outro]
But I'm still fond of you, oh-ho-oh
Oh, my sacred one
Oh
