The Secret
Some people say I'm a brother's shadow
But that don't matter to me
Some people say I'm a brother's love
But that don't matter to me
For the secret (secret) that you'd really like to know
For the secret that you'd really like to know
You don't understand, but I can't forgive you
& I hold a grudge for you
You don't understand how I can be happy
While you lock into your tears
For the secret (secret), bet you'd like to read my mind
For the secret, bet you'd like to read my mind
(instrumental)
I had a dream 'bout the perfect woman
A-knock, knockin' on my door
I had a dream, but I was asleep
She's comin' back for more
For the secret (secret), my baby's comin' home tonight
For the secret, my baby's comin' home tonight (x4)
My baby's comin' home tonight
My baby, my baby, my baby
