SECRETLY

Jimmy Rodgers

 

Why must I meet you in a secret rendezvous?

Why must we steal away to steal a kiss or two?

Why must we wait to do the things we want to do?

Why, oh why, oh why oh why oh why?

 

Chorus:

Wish we didn't have to meet secretly,

Wish we didn't have to kiss secretly,

Wish we didn't have to be afraid

To show the world that we're in love.

'Til we have the right to meet, openly,

'Til we have the right to kiss, openly,

We'll just have to be content to be in love,

Secretly.

 

Why must we wait until we're dancing cheek to cheek,

To whisper all the words of love we want to speak?

Why must our love be like a game of hide and seek?

Why, oh why, oh why oh why oh why?

 

Chorus
