Undercover


Oh sweet darling, kick your shoes off,
Let your hair down, get in bed;
Come and lie down here beside me,
Chase the demons from my head
Oh this day has been a devil,
Come here angel make it right,
Undercover heaven's waitin,
Will you take me there tonight?

Undercover angels hover,
As we cuddle up in bed,
Undercover words are uttered,
Even poets never said,
Undercover I would rather,
Be with you than anywhere,
We are undercover lovers,
And I run to meet you there

Private eyes and private moments,
Private words and flying sparks,
Sharing fantasies and secrets,
Fiery kisses, racing hearts,
It's a sacred place we go to,
Magical and sexy too,
And when we go undercover,
There is only me and you

Undercover we discover,
There's another world inside,
Besides this crazy one we live in,
We can leave it all outside,
Go undercover

Come here darling let me hold you,
Jump in here beside of me,
When the world is blown to pieces,
You can always come to me,
Let me touch you, let me kiss you;
You don't have to say a word,
What you tell me with your body,
Beats all I've ever heard

Undercover angels hover,
As we cuddle up in bed,
Undercover words are uttered,
Even poets never said,
Undercover I would rather,
Be with you than anywhere,
We are undercover lovers,
And I run to meet you there


Come and lay down by my side,
Undercover heaven's waitin,




And we're going there,
Going there, going there right now

Overall Meaning

The song "Undercover" by Kenny Rogers is a sensual and romantic story about an intimate relationship that provides shelter from the harshness of the world. It starts with the singer asking his partner to come to him and lay down beside him, to chase the demons from his head after a hard day. The lyrics paint a picture of two lovers who retreat to their own private world, where they can share their desires and fantasies, undisturbed by the outside world. The intimate moments they share are compared to a sacred place where they go to escape reality and find comfort in each other.


The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "undercover," which serves as a metaphor for the secret nature of their relationship. The singer describes how he would "rather be with [her] than anywhere" and that they are "undercover lovers." The use of the word "undercover" also hints at the idea that their love may be taboo or forbidden in some way. The lines "private eyes and private moments, private words and flying sparks" suggest that they are keeping their relationship hidden.


The song is a romantic ballad that speaks about the magic and intimacy of love. It portrays a perfect world, different from reality, where two lovers can escape into their private sanctuary. It celebrates the power of love to heal and renew, making everything else in the world seem unimportant in comparison.

Dear love, please take off your shoes and relax.

As long as I'm with you, anywhere is home.

Our moments are secretive and hidden from the public view.

When everything seems hopeless and futile.


You can always come to me,
You can always find comfort and solace in me.


Let me touch you, let me kiss you;
Allow me to caress you and kiss you.


You don't have to say a word,
No words are necessary.


What you tell me with your body,
Your body communicates everything.


Beats all I've ever heard
It's better than anything I've ever heard.


Come and lay down by my side,
Come lie down next to me.


Undercover heaven's waitin,
Our secret love nest awaits us.


And we're going there,
We are heading there.


Going there, going there right now
Making our way there at this very moment.
