Lyrics

You'll never know how much I really love you

You'll never know how much I really care


Listen

Do you want to know a secret

Do you promise not to tell, whoa oh, oh


Closer

Let me whisper in your ear

Say the words you long to hear

I'm in love with you

Listen

Do you want to know a secret

Do you promise not to tell, whoa oh, oh


Closer

Let me whisper in your ear

Say the words you long to hear

I'm in love with you


I've known the secret for a week or two

Nobody knows, just we two


Listen

Do you want to know a secret

Do you promise not to tell, whoa oh, oh

Closer

Let me whisper in your ear

Say the words you long to hear

I'm in love with you
