NO SECRET

Copyright 2008 – Robert E. Shandor

 

Sneakin’ down the backroads so we won’t be seen
My conscience should feel guilty but it’s somewhere in between
I know I shouldn’t think that I can make her change
When I’ve got as much chance as herdin’ cats in the rain

 

Her husband’s at his office, her kids are off to school
She says that it’s our secret, she MUST think I’m a fool
I’d bet her lips go flappin’ when she knows I’m not around
Tellin’ whispered stories to all her friends in town

 

She tells me not to worry, that everything’s fine

She tells me not to worry, that everything’s fine
I’m wound too tight for comfort,‘cause I know that she’s lyin’
My daddy once told me from his dyin’ bed
That two can’t keep no secret less’n one of them’s dea

That two can’t keep no secret less’n one of them’s dead
That two can’t keep no secret less’n one of them’s dead
