Lyrics
Have you ever wondered why we shy away from those we know?
These are ones that we should never dream of.
Closer than most but we must not be seen to stoop so low,
They'er rather dated, antiquated
Good god! It's wrong
Your secret's best left untold.
It's never crossed my mind and if it had you'd never know,
Guilt must break the ones who can't deny it.
They always said to go to bed make sure you knwo them well,
You know him best, of all the rest
They'll cry, that's why
Your secret's best left untold.
No-one else deserves your trust or sense of loyalty,
Lust is spurned, your fingers burned,
So keep it in the family.
No sordid sighs from family ties behind the bedroom door,
Why should they stop, there's no shame to it.
I always said I'd only love the one that's just like him,
The pointed finger, the pain that lingers,
The shame of your game,
Your secret's best left untold.
