Keep It A Secret
Needless to say, I've been listening to Bobby Blue Bland my whole life. Here is a pretty song that was released on his Midnight Run CD back in the late 80s. It's a story of seeing someone on the down low. I'm figuring both of them are married but very much in love with each other. It's kind of sad but such a beautiful song.
Every day of my life I’ve wondered how long it can keep going this way
After hours in a small café
Holding hands and praying that I get away
Trying our best to stay out of sight
We meet in the darkness to hide from the light
You know we’ve got too much at stake
To take a chance of living our separate ways
Chorus
We’ve got to keep it a secret
Just between me and you
We’ve got to keep it a secret
And don’t give no one else a clue
We can’t afford to let anyone else know
If we meet on the street we can’t even say hello
It’s hard trying to live this double life
We’re strangers by day and lovers by night
I’d like to tell the work how I feel about you
But right now I really can’t tell the truth
Chorus
We’ve got to, yes we have, I don’t dare tell no one
And you know why, it’s a secret baby
I’ll keep my part
I’d like to tell the world how I feel about you
But right now we can’t really tell the truth
We’ve got to keep it a secret, yes we have baby
Just between me and you
I can’t tell nobody, I don’t dare tell no one
I can’t tell my mother, I can’t tell my father
I can’t tell my sister, not even my brother
I can’t tell no one, not even my closest friends
I’m kind of jealous about it, wish I could tell somebody
But my hands are tied
It’s so good to me sometimes
I get fightin’ mad about it
Seems like I better not tell nobody
Enjoy!
