Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Take you time and tell me why you lied

I realize that we've been found out

This time

[Verse 2]

We should stand together if we can

But what you've planned means there's difference

Between

[Verse 3]

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

[Verse 4]

So discreet, I never tried to meet (She's so discreet, she never)

Your friends or interfere, I took a back seat

(Back seat) Between

[Verse 5]

And 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

[Verse 6]

And what you gonna say, yeah

When you run back to your wife?

I guess it's just the story of my life

What you gonna say?

[Verse 7]

So take you time and tell me why did you lie?

Or I may publicize that there's a difference

(Difference) Between

[Verse 8]

And 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

[Verse 9]

Tell me what you're gonna say in private

You still want my love, we're in this together

(What you're gonna say, what you're gonna do)

And what you're gonna do in public

Say you were never in love that you can remember

(What you're gonna say)

What you're gonna say in private
