secret lover
C.J. Lewis Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

So sweet that I'm your secret lover
Call me up when your heart's cold at night
I love your ways, and I love the way you
Make waves on my skin with your fingertips
I'm feeling borderline obsessed
About the fact that you're not mine
If you want me to
I'll be here for you
Cuz I'm city, I'm your jazz
I'm country, I'm the pop you never had
If you want me to
I'll be here for you
Call me your man
Oh, Call me your man
Cuz I slipped again, said I love you
So give me your trust
I'll turn your worries to dust
And you'll turn my darkest shades to bright blue
Every day, every night
Driving slow, wasting time
Keep on holding me tight
So call me crazy
Call me selfish
But I just have to get this off my chest
Make our getaway from Meg, from Andrew
She likes to talk and he's so into you
I'm feeling borderline obsessed
About the fact that you're not mine
If you want me to
I'll be here for you
Cuz I'm city, I'm your jazz
I'm country, I'm the pop you never had
If you want me to
I'll be here for you
Call me your man
Oh, Call me your man
Cuz I slipped again, said I love you
So give me your trust
I'll turn your worries to dust
And you'll turn my darkest shades to bright blue
Every day, every night
Driving slow, wasting time
Keep on holding me tight
Ah, ah
Ah, ah
April's fool
Go tell him you don't love him no more
Break the rules
When love's knocking at your door
April's fool
Go tell him you don't love him no more
Break the rules
When love's knocking at your door
Call me your man
Oh, Call me your man
Cuz I slipped again, said I love you
So give me your trust
I'll turn your worries to dust
And you'll turn my darkest shades to bright blue
Every day, every night




Driving slow, wasting time
Keep on holding me tight

Overall Meaning

In "Secret Lover" by C.J. Lewis, the singer confesses his feelings for a woman who is not his partner. He describes how he loves her ways and the way she touches him. He feels borderline obsessed with her because she is not his. Nevertheless, he offers to be here for her and accepts being her secret lover. He claims to be everything she wants, from jazz to country to pop music. He wants her to call him her man and promises to turn her worries into dust. She, in turn, will turn his darkest shades into bright blue. He asks her to break the rules and tell her partner that she no longer loves him. He convinces her that love is knocking at her door, and she should answer it by being with him.


The song is a messy portrayal of an emotional affair. The singer wants to be with someone he can't have, and his desperation is evident in the lyrics. He feels obsessed and selfish, and he wants the woman to leave her partner for him. In a way, he is trying to normalize being a secret lover, which is not healthy for anybody involved. He also undermines her current relationship, which is not an ethical thing to do.

Eu era pequeno, pipa, sol, muita criança na rua, uma sensação de paz, o céu limpo, os cara mais velho ouvindo essa música, parecia que eu não iria envelhecer nunca, minhas preocupações era em que hora ia passar meu desenho na TV, pé descalço, a inocência e imaginação enquanto ouvia essa musica
