Can You Keep a Secret
First Base Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Tell me what you do
When your world's too square
Tell me what you do
Nobody seems to care
When your world ain't right
And I'll tell you what I do
In the middle of the night
Can you keep a secret, keep a secret?
Can you keep a secret?
Can you keep it?
Can you keep a secret, keep a secret?
Can you keep a secret?
Can you keep it on?
I'm in love, I'm in love with another guy
And it breaks my baby's heart
I'm in love, I'm in love with another guy
And I know we have to part
Oh la la, oh yeah, oh la la (4x)
You secret's safe with me I swear
Do I dare to let it go?
No, so we can keep things grooving
That sexy moving that we've been doing
He don't know so I won't tell
I got the cash if your love's for sale
I'm making dollars ain't no thing
If me and you stay in full swing
Hotels late at night ain't right
But I got to have you in my sight
Every day on the phone I call
Making love from wall to wall
Hush hush, I got the rush
But it's all good if it's good for us
A secret love is what we are
A love bizarre, a shining star

The 90βs was THE best era for music. I said what I said
@rubenbarbosa6985
No comment has ever been more true
@dbj1852
I wonder why that was? I am gen z and the 90s music was way better than the stuff I grew up with.
@KfooYaFlight
because artists today only create music for money, and not for passion.@@dbj1852
