It's three am been too long, gotta see your face wondering where you at (where you at girl)
I've been too good to let myself relapse, but you've got me hooked so bad (you've got me hooked so bad)
Two drinks in, I'm all alone yeah, guess I might as well text back (guess I might as well text back)
I miss you, I hate you, I can't stand to think about his hands on your body, I won't tell nobody
If you drive here and kiss me and say that you miss when I was your somebody (was your somebody)
I don't have to be your man, girl I'll take whatever I can
(It can be our little secret)
Girl you play these games with my heart, while my hands gets back on track
Call me up, but things go down with your other man saying damn boy where you at (damn boy where you at, where you at girl)
I've been too good to let myself relapse, but you're the best that I've had
A one night stand can't hurt that bad, guess I might as well call back (guess I might as well call back)
I miss you, I hate you, I can't stand to think about his hands on your body, I won't tell nobody
If you drive here and kiss me and say that you miss when I was your somebody (was your somebody)
I don't have to be your man, girl I'll take whatever I can
It can be our little secret
So keep it, take it or leave it, don't have to repeat it, but damn girl I need it
You feel it, believe it, say that you mean it, I'm begging, I'm pleading, but God I don't need this
I don't have to be your man, girl I'll take whatever I can
I miss you, I hate you, I can't stand to think about his hands on your body, I won't tell nobody
If you drive here and kiss me and say that you miss when my hands were on your body (yeah)
I miss you, I hate you, I can't stand to think about his hands on your body, I won't tell nobody
If you drive here and kiss me and say that you miss when I was your somebody (was your somebody)
I don't have to be your man, girl I'll take whatever I can
It can be our little secret
(I can't stand to think about his hands on your body, his hands on your body
Drive here and kiss me and say that you miss when I was your somebody)
Yeah
The song "Secret" by Rajiv Dhall is about a person who is struggling with their feelings for an ex-partner. The singer receives a late-night call from their ex-partner and, though initially hesitant to respond, ultimately gives in to their feelings and meets up with them. The singer feels conflicted between missing their ex and hating themselves for still wanting them despite the fact that the ex is with someone else. The chorus conveys that the singer would still take whatever they can get, even if it has to be a secret.
The lyrics in the second verse suggest that the relationship between the two individuals is toxic, with their ex playing games with their heart and making it difficult for them to move on. Despite being hurt by their ex, the singer still misses them and seems to have trouble resisting their pull. The lyrics in the chorus repeat the idea that the singer is willing to settle for whatever they can get, as long as their ex will give them the attention they crave.
Overall, "Secret" is a powerful song about the difficulties of moving on from a toxic relationship and the way that past relationships can continue to haunt a person even once they've ended. The song is relatable to anyone who has ever found themselves drawn back to a person who they know is bad for them.
