Verse 1 - LaTocha
You're not in control when there's demands put on your heart
You don't even know 'cause when it's real you fall too hard
And yet even so, you try to play like nothing's wrong
No you can't run away, there is no hiding place
'Cause you can't run from your heart

Chorus
Your eyes, they tell me secrets that you, you can't deny
Your eyes, they show me feelings that you hold deep inside
How would I know the secrets that you try to hide?
'Cause when I look in your eyes, the truth is alive
I knew you'd be mine

Verse 2 - LaTocha
So now that it's on, it's time to face reality
It's time to be strong, take all your insecurities, baby
Don't be afraid, you gotta let your feelings flow
No you can't run away, there is no hiding place
You gotta be true to your heart

Chorus (with LaTocha adlibs)
Your eyes, they tell me secrets that you, you can't deny
Your eyes, they show me feelings that you hold deep inside
How would I know the secrets that you try to hide?
'Cause when I look in your eyes, the truth is alive
I knew you'd be mine

Bridge - LaTocha
Now that you're all turned out
Don't you just love the way that it feels?
Now you can't do without my love and you know that's for real
Now why you deny yourself, I will never, never, never understand
Because I love you and you love me too
And that's just the way that it is, yeah

Chorus
Your eyes, they tell me secrets that you, you can't deny
Your eyes, they show me feelings that you hold deep inside
How would I know the secrets that you try to hide?
'Cause when I look in your eyes, the truth is alive
I knew you'd be mine
Your eyes, they tell me secrets that you, you can't deny
Your eyes, they show me feelings that you hold deep inside
How would I know the secrets that you try to hide?
'Cause when I look in your eyes, the truth is alive
I knew you'd be mine
Your eyes, your eyes, your eyes
Your eyes, your eyes, your eyes
How would I know the secrets that you try to hide?
'Cause when I look in your eyes, the truth is alive
I knew you'd be mine
Your eyes, your eyes, your eyes

Xscape

Xscape is an Atlanta vocal quartet who became one of the most successful R&B groups of the 1990s. The first act signed to Jermaine Dupri’s So So Def label, they released three platinum albums and five top 10 pop singles, including the #1 R&B hits “Just Kickin' It” and “Who Can I Run To.”

The group consisted of Kandi Burruss, Tameka “Tiny” Cottle, and sisters LaTocha Scott and Tamika Scott. They’re known for their relatable lyrics about love, as well as tracks that fuse hip-hop and R&B. While all four members took turns singing lead, Kandi Burruss' contralto is the Xscape’s best known voice.

While still in high school, Xscape was discovered by Jermaine Dupri in 1991 at an Atlanta talent show. They released their debut album, Hummin' Comin' At Cha, in the fall of 1993. The lead single, “Just Kickin' It,” spent four weeks on top of the R&B singles chart, reaching no. 2 on Billboard’s Hot 100. It remains their biggest hit.
