[Verse 1]
Still don't know how he got my number
Thought I'd got him out of my life
But I agreed to see him just one time
Never thought I'd fall for him twice
Oh, you've gotta hear my confession
I believe it's long overdue
I can't think of living without you
I'd understand if that's what you'd wanna do

[Chorus]
There are secrets that you never knew
Secrets in a private room
Secrets that I kept from you
Pillow talk in the afternoon

[Verse 2]
Never wanted to hurt you
Didn't really want to deceive
I was so afraid if I told you
Your broken heart would force you to leave
I think I knew what I was doing
By falling into his arms again
I wish I'd seen right through him
But I'm telling you now 'cos I'm so ashamed

[Chorus]
There are secrets that you never knew
Secrets in a private room
Secrets that I kept from you
Pillow talk in the afternoon
There are secrets that you never knew
Secrets in a private room
Secrets that I kept from you
Pillow talk in the afternoon

[Bridge]
(Secrets, secrets, secrets, secrets)
Oh, you've gotta hear my confession
I believe it's long overdue
I can't think of living without you
I'd understand if that's what you'd wanna do

[Chorus]
There are secrets that you never knew
Secrets in a private room
Secrets that I kept from you
Pillow talk in the afternoon
Secrets, secrets, secrets
Pillow talk in the afternoon
Secrets that you never knew
Secrets in a private room
Secrets that I kept from you
Pillow talk in the afternoon
Secrets that you never knew
Secrets in a private room
Secrets that I kept from you
Pillow talk in the afternoon
Secrets that you never knew
Secrets in a private room
Secrets that I kept from you
Pillow talk in the afternoon
Secrets that you never knew

Kylie Minogue is an Australian singer, songwriter, and actress. Often referred to as the Goddess of Pop with a career spanning over 30 years, she has transformed from girl-next-door soap star to ‘90s pop starlet, and short-lived indie darling to bona fide superstar.

Kylie earned her first big break on the Australian soap opera Neighbours, playing tomboy mechanic Charlene Mitchell. An on-screen romance with Jason Donovan – who played Scott Robinson – blossomed into a real-life relationship, and their wedding on the soap drew in millions of viewers. However, her real ambition was a successful career in music, and by 1988 her debut album, Kylie, was released, reaching #1 in the UK and Australia. Notching up 10 UK Top 3 singles by 1993, she was one of the defining popstars of the early ‘90s. Her follow-ups to the debut album – Enjoy Yourself, Rhythm of Love and Let’s Get To It – all reached the Top 15 in the UK.

With a blossoming relationship with late INXS frontman Michael Hutchence, Kylie was encouraged to be more ambitious with her image and sound. As such, she left her former label, PWL, and released the daring “Confide In Me” in early 1994. Critics praised her re-invention, and the single restored the success she had somewhat lost with her previous album. Impossible Princess was another critical success but failed to make much of an impact on the charts, which led some media outlets to believe that her “15 minutes of fame” were over.
