Lyrics
In Private
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Take your time and tell me
why you lied
I realise that we've been found out
this time
We should stand together if we can
but what you've planned
means there's a difference between...
What you're gonna say in private
You still want my love
We're in this together
And what you're gonna do in public
Say you were never in love
that you can remember
So discreet
I never tried to meet
your friends or interfere
I took a back seat between...
What you're gonna say in private
You still want my love
We're in this together
And what you're gonna do in public
Say you were never in love
that you can remember
And what you gonna say
when you run back to your wife?
I guess it's just the story of my life
What you gonna say?
So take your time and tell me
why did you lie
or I may publicise
that there's a difference between...
What you're gonna say in private
You still want my love
We're in this together
And what you're gonna do in public
Say you were never in love
that you can remember
