You, you are my secret, and I won't give you away
I carry a secret, and this one wants to be told
For nights and days, it cuddled with me
But it doesn't wanna grow old
So it waits at my door and it gives me that look
With longing eyes and it tries, and it cries
And it box and it howls during midnight hours
It's time, it's time, it's time
I'm keeping a secret, and it's not supposed to get out
So I tied it up real good, just in case
One day I leave the door open
And it gave me that look when I covered it's mouth
I used rope and some tape, and no way it would escape
And who'd ever walked by would have noticed it's there
No, it's mine, it's mine, it's mine
And you, you are my secret
And I won't give you away
No, you, you are my secret
You are mine
I've been told a secret, I wish I could turn back the time
It feels dark and cold, too precious to hold
And we don't seem to get along fine
It appears in my dreams and it shows up at night
Sleeps under my bed, and I'll never forget how
I shivered in sight when it called out to me
"I am yours, I'm yours, I'm yours!"
And you, you are my secret
And I won't give you away
No, you, you are my secret
You are mine
