Secret Love Song
Little Mix Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

When you hold me in the street and you kiss me on the dance floor
I wish that it could be like that
Why can't it be like that?
'Cause I'm yours

We keep behind closed doors
Every time I see you, I die a little more
Stolen moments that we steal as the curtain falls
It'll never be enough
It's obvious you're meant for me
Every piece of you, it just fits perfectly
Every second, every thought, I'm in so deep
But I'll never show it on my face

But we know this, we got a love that is hopeless

Why can't you hold me in the street?
Why can't I kiss you on the dance floor?
I wish that it could be like that
Why can't we be like that?
'Cause I'm yours

When you're with him, do you call his name
Like you do when you're with me? Does it feel the same?
Would you leave if I was ready to settle down?
Or would you play it safe and stay?

Girl, you know this, we got a love that is hopeless

Why can't you hold me in the street?
Why can't I kiss you on the dance floor? (I wish)
I wish that it could be like that
Why can't we be like that?
'Cause I'm yours

And nobody knows I'm in love with someone's baby
I don't wanna hide us away
Tell the world about the love we making
I'm living for that day
Someday

Why can't I hold you in the street?
Why can't I kiss you on the dance floor?
I wish that we could be like that
Why can't we be like that?
'Cause I'm yours, I'm yours

Oh, why can't you hold me in the street?
Why can't I kiss you on the dance floor?
I wish that it could be like that (I wish)
Why can't it be like that? (I wish)
'Cause I'm yours ('cause I'm yours)
Why can't I say that I'm in love?
I wanna shout it from the rooftops
I wish that it could be like that (I wish)
Why can't we be like that?
'Cause I'm yours

Why can't we be like that?
Wish we could be like that

Overall Meaning

"Secret Love Song" by Little Mix featuring Jason Derulo is a heartbreaking ballad about a secret love that cannot be shared with the world. The song describes the pain and longing of two people who share a deep connection but cannot express their love publicly. The first verse describes stolen moments on the dance floor where the singer wishes that they could be in a public relationship. The chorus repeats this message of wanting to be open about their love but being held back. The second verse questions whether the other person really feels the same way and whether they would take the risk of being together.


The line "Why can't I say that I'm in love?" expresses the extent of the singer's frustration and pain. They are pleading for the freedom to express their love openly and share their happiness with the world. Little Mix's mesmerizing harmonies and emotionally driven vocal performances make the song even more heart-wrenching. In summary, "Secret Love Song" is a powerful testament to the complexity of love and the obstacles that prevent people from freely expressing their emotions.

When you hold me in the street
And you kiss me on the dance floor
I wish that it could be like that
Why can't it be like that?
'Cause I'm yours

We keep behind closed doors
Every time I see you, I die a little more
Stolen moments that we steal as the curtain falls
It'll never be enough

It's obvious you're meant for me
Every piece of you, it just fits perfectly
Every second, every thought, I'm in so deep
But I'll never show it on my face

But we know this
We got a love that is homeless

Why can't you hold me in the street?
Why can't I kiss you on the dance floor?
I wish that it could be like that
Why can't we be like that?
'Cause I'm yours

When you're with him, do you call his name
Like you do when you're with me? Does it feel the same?
Would you leave if I was ready to settle down
Or would you play it safe and stay?

Girl, you know this

We got a love that is hopeless

Why can't you hold me in the street?
Why can't I kiss you on the dance floor?
I wish that it could be like that
Why can't we be like that?
'Cause I'm yours

And nobody knows I'm in love with someone's baby
I don't wanna hide us away
Tell the world about the love we're making
I'm living for that day
Someday

Why can't I hold you in the street?
Why can't I kiss you on the dance floor?
I wish that we could be like that
Why can't we be like that?
'Cause I'm yours, I'm yours

Oh, why can't you hold me in the street?
Why can't I kiss you on the dance floor?
I wish that it could be like that
Why can't it be like that?
'Cause I'm yours

Why can't I say that I'm in love?
I wanna shout it from the rooftop
I wish that it could be like that
Why can't we be like that?
'Cause I'm yours

Why can't we be like that?
Wish we could be like that

@gabslecarpentier775

I had a girlfriend who had been abused in the past and when I saw her I instantly fell in love with her. Every time I would go and hug her she would flinch because she thought I would hit her. It was the same when I would kiss her. I waited until she was ready and comfortable enough that she would kiss me. It’s been 4 years and we are engaged! 😀

Edit: we are getting married in 5 days!!!

Edit 2: We are officially MARRIED 👰!!!

Edit 3: We are having a baby!! 🤰🤰

Edit 4(2021): We had a beautiful baby girl called Alexis who is almost 1!
