Secret Life

In your little black book

You've got the names

And the favorite persuasions

Of the people in the headlines

I'm in there under A

And I'm rated under B

You've got photographs to prove it

And I swear to God it's not me

You've got a hard heart

Being hard is your art

You think love is a dirty dirty word

You pick up the phone

And you ring me when I'm at home

And then you put it down

And I'm reaching for my valium

My secret life

Living life, on a knife edge of life

Tell my wife

And she's just had a breakdown

And I

I'm not rich

But you know I'm top in my pitch

And you'll ruin the lot

Finish everything I've got

My secret life

Secret life

I'll give you anything

Anything to shut you up

Why do you hate me so much

What have I ever done to you, but leave you

I don't want to play cat and mouse

Have the neighbors looking over at my house

All the secret smiles

When I walk in the room

And I think I'm gonna

Crack up soon

I'm going to run away

Find a place in the dark

Where I don't have to hear, the nasty nasty talk

Change my sex

Change my hair

Be hard to find anywhere

My secret life

Living life, on a knife edge of life

Tell my wife

And she's just had a breakdown

And I

I'm not rich

But you know I'm top in my pitch

And you'll ruin the lot

Finish everything I've got

My secret life

My secret life

I'll give you anything

Anything to shut you up

Why do you hate me so much

What have I ever done to you, but leave you, oh

My secret life

My secret life

My secret life

My secret life

My secret life

My secret life
