We have to take our chances
We have to keep it down
We have to steal our kisses
When nobody's around we have to hide
The tenderness inside
To make love on the sly You say it's for the better
We have to speak in riddles To cloak the things we say
We have to watch our whispers Not to give ourselves away
We have to run in shadows in the dark We have to stand apart
when they see us together
So we're living like silent partners
Sneaking like thieves in the night
Can't let it show,
gotta keep it low So no one knows
We're silent partners Never come to the light
And I'm just not giving up on you
We have to keep the secret Burning on our lips
We'd both be hurting someone If they caught us here like this
We have to bear this burden that we share
Knowing our affair just can't go on forever
