Lyrics
Don't Breathe A Word
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.
Please don't go tellin' her that I love her
I just don't want her to discover
I know she'd only think it's all too absurd
It's a secret, don't breathe a word.
If only she knew what I've been wishin'
I'd be in a very bad position
I'd have the saddest tale of woe ever heard
It's a secret, don't breathe a word.
I've been tryin' to figure out a new technique
My new plan is a smooth plan
But my technique is a little bit weak.
As long as she doesn't suspect a thing
She'll be receptive when I spring
My big secret, don't breathe a word.
About love, about love.
About love, about love.
About love...
