Secret Love.
 
It's so unfair,
the way you stare
into my soul.
Angry, amber eyes
see through my lies -
Oh, yeah,
you know -
I don't love you,
anymore.
 
Cotton candy
fantasies -
but I can't
get a ticket.
Sold-out show -
I'm outside
the door;
waiting to
get in -
You, know
I wanna
get with him...
I'd sell it
all -
I'd break -
down walls;
if he would 

only call me;
call me again.
 
I tried to hide -
inside our small,
little life ~
Pretty, perfect -
pretend wife...
I know what
you like ~
Yeah, I'm at your
service -
and even though
you don't
deserve it;
Oh, I just ~
Uh, yes, I just;
keep on giving,
giving it all ~
to the cause.
 
...and now the
days keep on
growing longer -
Gotta wait until
I'm stronger -
to admit -
Uh, yes -
I'm done with it...
I've gotta tell you;
My Darling, that
I've got a,
I've got a -
I've got a -
Secret Love.
 
Privacy does
not exist -
every time I
move my lips;
you read
between the
lines -
and sometimes,
Yes, sometimes;
I wan't for
you to see
right through
me -
Baby, No one can
undo me -
quite the way
you can -
Ah, yes, another
man -
could never
fill these
empty hours;
Strip away my
power -
Yeah, baby -
Go ahead and
pick out some
pretty flowers -
and yeah,
tell me again;
yes, tell me again -
Baby, tell me again;
how you can't
live without me.
 
I've been walking
the tightrope -
in an imaginary show -
and everybody knows,
I could fall to my death -
but I have nothing left
to live for -
Yeah, I can't give you
anymore of myself.
I've got to be honest with
myself -
No, oh, oh ~
No, I can't lie another day
but I gotta wait for the
curtain to drop -
wait for the applause
to stop -
Yeah, I just keep on
giving it all - 
Giving it all, I've got.  
Giving it all up ~
for the cause.
 
and now the
days keep
growing longer -
Gotta wait until
I'm stronger -
to admit -
Uh, yes -
I'm done with it...
I gotta tell you;
I've got a
Secret Love.
 
The lights are
out -
Yeah, Baby,
we brought down
the house;
Thunder echos
in the distant sky -
I'm standing, naked,
in the mirror -
Please, Baby, don't move
any nearer -
Cause, I can't stand to see
you cry...
 
Oh, yeah,
It's so unfair,
the way you stare,  
so deep,
into my soul.
Your angry, amber eyes
see through my lies -
and its so hard to say
good-bye ~
I don't wanna say
good-bye, tonight.
 
But - uh, ooh, ooh -
Yes, you already
know -
Yeah, I think,
you already know;
that I don't love you,
anymore.
Yeah, you already know...
I've got a Secret Love.
