Secret
Zander Robin Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Baby come close
So no one can hear
I want to whisper something whisper something
In your ear
I want to tell you things
That I told no one else
I want to tell you things
From deep inside myself

Ow ow ow cause I have to whisper
Ow ow ow

Can you keep a secret
Locked inside your heart
Can you keep a secret
It's tearing me apart
If I, if I trust in you
Will you give it back to me
Can you keep a secret

What good is a door
If it's always kept shut
What could happen to me
If I open up
I want to tell you things
Beacause I'm surprised girl
I hope you won't be distant
Look in my eyes

Oh, oh, oh come a little closer oh, oh oh
But can you keep a secret
Locked up in your heart
Can you keep a secret
It's tearing me apart
If I give my love to you
Would you give it back to me
Ooh can you keep a secret

(solo)
repeat chorus
