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
