It's a Secret

(Paul Foglino)
 Met a girl last night
 She asked if I would stay
 I said "All right"
 She just turned and walked away
 She didn't say why
 Must have thought I knew
 I guess she just had better things to do
 When I first met you
 I was nervous in my haste
 You're such a lady
 A girl of wealth and taste
 And when I kissed you
 I thought I had it made
 Saw pearly gates and touched a razor blade
 Someone's got to tell me about these morbid fascinations
 Someone's making love and I'm just making conversation
 Sometimes I think I've got it but it always comes and goes
 It's just a secret that everybody seems to know
 When we're together
 We're drinking to your health
 And when we're talking
 You're talking about yourself
 I think about you
 Call you on the phone
 But when I'm with you I just feel more alone
 Someone's got to tell me about these sexual relations
 Someone's making love and I'm just making conversation
 Sometimes I think I've got it but it always comes and goes
 It's just a secret that everybody seems to know
 You say you like me
 But not like other guys
 You tell your friends
 You say I'm very nice
 It's just a game
 And you just want to play
 When you break me you can just throw me away
 Someone's got to tell me about these morbid fascinations
 Someone's making love and I'm just making conversation
 Sometimes I think I've got it but it always comes and goes
 It's just a secret that everybody seems to know
