Dirty Little Secret
Alex Who? Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Let me know that I′ve done wrong
When I've known this all along
I go around a time or two
Just to waste my time with you
Tell me all that you′ve thrown away
Find out games you don't wanna play
You are the only one that needs to know
I'll keep you my dirty little secret

(Dirty little secret)
Don′t tell anyone, or you′ll be just another regret
(Just another regret, hope that you can keep it)
My dirty little secret
Who has to know
When we live such fragile lives?
It's the best way we survive
I go around a time or two
Just to waste my time with you
Tell me all that you′ve thrown away
Find out games you don't wanna play
You are the only one that needs to know
I′ll keep you my dirty little secret

(Dirty little secret)
Don't tell...

Line by Line Meaning

Let me know that I’ve done wrong
Tell me that I'm in trouble

When I've known this all along
Although I've been aware of it from the start

I go around a time or two
I circle around you a few times

Just to waste my time with you
To pass time in your company, without much purpose

Tell me all that you've thrown away
Share the things you’ve given up on

Find out games you don't wanna play
Discover activities you’d rather not participate in

You are the only one that needs to know
You're the sole person who requires this information

I'll keep you my dirty little secret
I will keep our clandestine situation confidential

(Dirty little secret)

Don't tell anyone, or you'll be just another regret
If you disclose our little secret, you’ll just be another disappointment

(Just another regret, hope that you can keep it)

My dirty little secret
Our undercover activity

Who has to know
Who needs to be informed?

When we live such fragile lives?
Our time on earth is frail and limited

It's the best way we survive
This is how we manage to carry on

I go around a time or two
I loop back around

Just to waste my time with you
Simply to spend time with you

Tell me all that you've thrown away
Share what you've abandoned

Find out games you don't wanna play
Identify games or activities you don't wish to participate in

You are the only one that needs to know
None other than yourself requires this knowledge

I'll keep you my dirty little secret
I’ll continue to keep our covert actions confidential

(Dirty little secret)

Don't tell...
Don’t disclose...

You come first and I'll come later
I'll be your fly bird you'll be my alligator
treat me rough
I won't leave my mark
sugar plum and freaky with me in the dark
you rape me down get me off don't stop
coming up for air you say I taste like butterscotch

you push my buttons and know how that I need it
hush hush i'll be your dirty little secret
no need to worry cause you know I can keep it
hush hush i'll be your dirty little secret

I know we're bad but it keeps getting better
slam my dress down as I'm ripping off your sweater
If this is wrong I don't wanna be right
come a little closer feel me tremble inside
you rape me down get me off don't stop
coming up for air you say I taste like butterscotch

you push my buttons and know how that I need it
hush hush i'll be your dirty little secret
no need to worry cause you know I can keep it
hush hush i'll be your dirty little secret
dirty little secret
dirty little secret
hush hush
I'll be your dirty little secret
dirty little secret
dirty little secret

hush hush
I'll be your dirty little secret

yeah yes i know
i like it when I struggle
don't stop don't let go
and you can do me double

you push my buttons and know how that I need it
hush hush i'll be your dirty little secret
no need to worry cause you know I can keep it.
hush hush i'll be your dirty little secret
you push my buttons and know how that I need it
hush hush i'll be your dirty little secret
no need to worry cause you know I can keep it.
hush hush i'll be your dirty little secret
dirty little secret
dirty little secret
hush hush
I'll be your dirty little secret
dirty little secret

hush hush
I'll be your dirty little secret
