I wanna tell you all of this business
I gotta little something for you
And I hope you can keep it
And oh when we touch, when we touch
They won't know
And oh can you keep, can you keep it on the low ooh
If I tell you everything I like
Promise that you'll never say a word
You can't tell nothin
I'm talking bout nothin
Feelings unnatural
Never felt like this before
You can't say nothing
I'm talking bout nothing
This love's between you and I
So we'll hide it from the world tonight
You can't tell nobody
I'm talkin bout nobody
This love's between you and I
So we'll hide it from the world tonight
You can't tell nobody
I'm talkin bout nobody
We can keep this thing between us
You and I and the mirrors on the ceiling
The dirty things I'll say to you
I know you can keep it
And oh when we touch, when we touch
They won't know
And oh going deep, going deep
Can you hold on?
If I tell you everything I like
Promise that you'll never say a word
You can't tell nothin
I'm talking bout nothin
Feelings unnatural
Never felt like this before
You can't say nothing
I'm talking bout nothing
This love's between you and I
So we'll hide it from the world tonight
You can't tell nobody
I'm talkin bout nobody
This love's between you and I
So we'll hide it from the world tonight
You can't tell nobody
I'm talkin bout nobody
Boy this will be our little secret
Something I know you won't forget
No one has to know it's between us
Oh baby, it's between us
And we'll just hide away, I don't care what they say
As long as you're here baby
And we'll just hide away, I don't care what they say
As long as you're here baby
If I tell you everything I like
Promise that you'll never say a word
You can't tell nothin
I'm talking bout nothin
Feelings unnatural
Never felt like this before
You can't say nothing
I'm talking bout nothing
This love's between you and I
So we'll hide it from the world tonight
You can't tell nobody
