[Intro]
Ah, ah
Ah, ah
Ah, ah
Ah, ah
[Verse 1]
I didn't wanna have to say this to you
It's not that I don't love you
I just can't be explaining to everyone why you hurt me
That's why I wanna keep us between you and me
You'd understand if you were treated like me
It's not that people run me
But they can see when I am hurtin', they know it's not me
So don't make me the blame, you need to change
[Pre-Chorus]
You say later
You're not ready to make a commitment to me
It will take some time
Should've known before we started
You act one way when you are around me
When we are in public, you are so different
I know that you treat me bad, but I can't get away
Let's just keep it undercover
I don't wanna be embarrassed so
[Chorus]
We don't want anybody to know (Anybody)
Didn't we decide that?
We don't want anybody to know (Anybody)
What we do when we're alone
We don't want anybody to know (Anybody, oh)
Didn't we decide that? (That we)
We don't want anybody to know (Don't want anybody)
What we do when we're alone (When we're alone, yeah)
We don't want anybody to know
[Verse 2]
I know that people would never understand me
'Cause they can only judge whatever they see
And I know what they'll say if they look at me
If I had all the answers that they would ask
Still, they wouldn't realize the love that we have
So now I have to deal with living secretly
'Cause for me, love is worthless with no you and me
And it should be clear how I ride for you, but
[Pre-Chorus]
You say later
You're not ready to make a commitment to me
It will take some time
Should've known before we started
You act one way when you are around me
When we are in public, you are so different
I know that you treat me bad, but I can't get away
Let's just keep it undercover
I don't wanna be embarrassed so
[Chorus]
We don't want anybody to know (Don't want anybody to know)
Didn't we decide that? (That we are together and so in love)
We don't want anybody to know (Anybody)
What we do when we're alone (alone, yeah yeah)
We don't want anybody to know (Don't want anybody to know)
Didn't we decide that? (Yeah, didn't we decide all of this?)
We don't want anybody to know (Anybody, and nobody has to know about our love)
What we do when we're alone (Be good to me strictly)
We don't want anybody to know
[Bridge]
Tell me if I've made it clear to you
If you can't understand this, then maybe we need
To give up on each other until you believe
Everything we go through is all because of you
And you don't have to do the things that you do
'Cause I've been the same since we began
So baby, will you make a change? (We, yeah)
[Chorus]
We don't want anybody to know (Don't want anybody)
Didn't we decide that? (To question what we do)
We don't want anybody to know (Don't want anybody)
What we do when we're alone
We don't want anybody to know (It can stay between me and you)
Didn't we decide that? (Didn't we decide that?)
We don't want anybody to know (Nobody has to know)
What we do when we're alone (Anybody to know)
We don't want anybody to know (Anybody)
Didn't we decide that? (That we did not)
We don't want anybody to know
What we do when we're alone (What we do when we're alone)
We don't want anybody to know (We don't want)
Didn't we decide that? (No one to know / That we did not)
We don't want anybody to know (We don't want no one to know)
[Outro]
Ah, ah
Don't want anybody to know, oh
We don't want anybody to know
We don't want no one to know
Don't want anybody to know
We don't want no one to know
We don't want anybody to know
We don't want
We don't want anybody to know
We don't want no one to know
We don't want anybody to know
We don't want no one to know
We don't want anybody to know
We don't want no one to know
We don't want anybody to know
Ah, ah
