[Verse 1: Neil Tennant and Elton John]
Take your time and tell me
Why you lied
I realise that we've been found out
This time
We should stand together if we can
But what you've planned
Means there's a difference between
[Chorus: Neil Tennant and Elton John]
What you're gonna say in private
You still want my love
We're in this together
And what you're gonna do in public
Say you were never in love
That you can remember
[Verse 2: Elton John]
So discreet
I never tried to meet
Your friends or interfere
I took a back seat between
[Chorus: Neil Tennant and Elton John]
What you're gonna say in private
You still want my love
We're in this together
And what you're gonna do in public
Say you were never in love
That you can remember
[Verse 3: Neil Tennant and Elton John]
And what you gonna say
When you run back to your wife?
I guess it's just the story of my life
What you gonna say?
[Verse 4: Neil Tennant]
So take your time and tell me
Why did you lie
Or I may publicise
That there's a difference between
[Chorus: Neil Tennant and Elton John]
What you're gonna say in private
You still want my love
We're in this together
And what you're gonna do in public
Say you were never in love
That you can remember
[Outro: Elton John]
What are you going to say?
What are you going to say?
Take your time and tell me
Why you lied
I realise that we've been found out
This time
We should stand together if we can
But what you've planned
Means there's a difference between
[Chorus: Neil Tennant and Elton John]
What you're gonna say in private
You still want my love
We're in this together
And what you're gonna do in public
Say you were never in love
That you can remember
[Verse 2: Elton John]
So discreet
I never tried to meet
Your friends or interfere
I took a back seat between
[Chorus: Neil Tennant and Elton John]
What you're gonna say in private
You still want my love
We're in this together
And what you're gonna do in public
Say you were never in love
That you can remember
[Verse 3: Neil Tennant and Elton John]
And what you gonna say
When you run back to your wife?
I guess it's just the story of my life
What you gonna say?
[Verse 4: Neil Tennant]
So take your time and tell me
Why did you lie
Or I may publicise
That there's a difference between
[Chorus: Neil Tennant and Elton John]
What you're gonna say in private
You still want my love
We're in this together
And what you're gonna do in public
Say you were never in love
That you can remember
[Outro: Elton John]
What are you going to say?
What are you going to say?
