Ooh

Mm, hmm

Ooh

She was from the other side of town

A place where skin like mine just ain't around

A place of unwritten laws and ancient ways

Where no one dares to stray

But as our destiny's were laughing

Somehow we came to be close friends

And now I'm haunted by this crazy secret

That's got me crying till the end

How much I wanted, how I needed to let my feelings show

How much my heart overflowed, she'll never know

How much I loved her, I couldn't hurt her, so I had to let her go

How much it tortures my soul, she'll never know

Every time she looked into my eyes

I knew that all she wanted was a sign

Oh, but that was the one thing I couldn't do

'Cause of all the hell they'd put her through

They would cast her aside forever

And I could never watch her be disowned

There's just no way, I won't put her through it

And that's why she'll never know

How much I wanted, how I needed to let my feelings show

To let my feelings show

How much my heart overflowed, she'll never know

How much I loved her, I couldn't hurt her, so I had to let her go

Had to let her go

How much it tortures my soul, she'll never know, mm, hmm

It hurts so bad to be denied without a reason, there is no reason

It was too much to keep inside, all I could say was goodbye

How much I wanted, how I needed to let my feelings show

To let me feelings show

How much my heart overflowed, she'll never know

It overflowed, baby, she'll never know, she'll never know

How much I loved her, I couldn't hurt her so I had to let her go

Hey, yeah, yeah

How much it tortures my soul, she'll never know

How much I wanted, how I needed to let my feelings show

How much I love ya, how I much I needed you, baby, yeah

How much my heart overflowed, she'll never know
