Here we are, the two of us together
Taking this crazy chance to be all alone
We both know that we should not be together
'Cause if they find out it could mess up both our happy homes

I hate to think about us only not together
As soon as I look at you it will show on my face, yeah
Then they'll know that we've been loving each other
We can't let 'em know, girl, no, no, we can't leave a trace

Secret lovers, yeah that's what we are
We shouldn't be together
But we can't let go, no, no
'Cause we love each other so

Sitting at home I do nothing all day
But think about you and hope that you're okay
Hoping you'll call before anyone gets home
I wait anxiously alone by the phone

How could something so wrong be so right?
I wish we didn't have to keep our love out of sight, yeah
Living two lives just ain't easy at all
But we gotta hang on in there or fall

Secret lovers, yeah that's what we are
Trying so hard to hide the way we feel
'Cause we both belong to someone else
But we can't let go
'Cause what we feel is oh so real
So real, so real

You and me, are we fair?
Is this cruel, or do we care?
Can they tell what's in our minds?
Maybe they've had secret lovers all of the time

In the middle of making love we notice the time
We both get nervous 'cause it's way after nine
Even though we hate it we know it's time that we go
We gotta be careful so that no one will know

Secret lovers that's what we are
Trying so hard to hide the way we feel
'Cause we both belong to someone else
But we can't let go
'Cause what we feel is oh so real
So real, so real, so real, so real
