What She Don't Know
Cassie Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
because what she don't know won't hurt her.
They know him, I know her, this makes it... better.
Forbidden pleasures, that's what keeps us together.
The creepin', the sneekin', the trips on the weekend,
our favorite best position, cause somethings he'd be missing.
Aaahhh, this little secret.
So when they see us together he says I'm just a friend.
Aahhhh, can you keep it?
Aaahhh, this little secret.
Only me and him know what's up, so we know we must pretend,
so if she comes up to you saying that she knows about what we do,
I would tell her; what she don't know won't hurt her,
what she, what she don't know won't hurt her.
And if she goes through your phone give me a secret
name so she never knows, I'm like;
what she don't know won't hurt her,
what she, what she don't know won't hurt her.
There's no us, there's still her, I'm just a nasty rumour.
Cause either truth hurts, so we stay undercover.
When I call I block my number, when he calls we play secret lovers,
if she thinks he's being faithfull who am I to burst her bubble?
Aaahh, can you keep it?
Aaaah, this little secret.
So when they see us together he says I'm just a friend.
Aahhhh, can you keep it?
Aaahhh, this little secret.
Only me and him know what's up, so we know we must pretend,
so if she comes up to you saying that she knows about what we do,
I would tell her; what she don't know won't hurt her,
what she, what she don't know won't hurt her.
And if she goes through your phone give me a secret
name so she never knows, I'm like;
what she don't know won't hurt her,
what she, what she don't know won't hurt her.
I won't tell nobody, he won't tell nobody,
we won't tell nobody cause it's a secret.
I won't tell nobody, he won't tell nobody, we won't tell nobody, ssshhh.
She don't wanna know what me and him do behind closed doors, ohhho.
And I sure don't want to be in her shoes, me hell no, ohho. [x2]
So if she comes up to you saying that she knows about what we do,
I would tell her; what she don't know won't hurt her,
what she, what she don't know won't hurt her.
And if she goes through your phone,
give me a secret name so she never knows, I'm like;
what she don't know won't hurt her,
what she, what she don't know won't hurt her. [x2]
What she don't know won't hurt her,
what she, what she don't know won't hurt her.
what she, what she, what she don't know won't hurt
her, what she, what she don't know won't hurt her,
what she don't know won't hurt her,
what she, what she don't know won't hurt her,
what she, what she, what she don't know won't hurt her.
what she, what she don't know won't hurt her.

Listening to this for the first time, in retrospect if this is about deceased Kim Porter it's Very DISRESPECTFUL & Wrong as hell. She should feel horrible along with Diddy. Smdh
