Chorus 1 (A voice within her):
If your child asks for your deepest dimmest secret,
Will you tell?
If your child tells out your precious previous secret,
Will you allow?
Aren’t you afraid of your new wedding vow?
How about the venom of word of mouth?
If you need to advice your child now,
Say, “Hush, no secrets are to be yelled aloud.”
Verse 1 (Her):
Sitting right here,
Right at this moment;
I shan’t fear,
Rules are meant to be broken,
I’m about to tear,
My heart you’ve stolen;
I’m not your dear,
My love you’ve forsaken.
Chorus 2 (A voice within him):
If your child asks for your deepest dimmest secret,
Will you tell?
If your child tells out your precious previous secret,
Will you allow?
Aren’t you afraid of your new wedding vow?
How about the venom of word of mouth?
If you need to advice your child now,
Say, “Hush, no secrets are to be yelled aloud.”
Verse 2 (Him):
Standing left here,
Left at this moment;
I shall fear,
Rules are not meant to be broken,
I’m about to tear,
My heart you’ve stolen;
I’m not your dear,
My love you’ve forsaken.
Chorus 3 (A voice within her):
If your child knows your deepest dimmest secret,
Will you mind?
If your child tells out your precious previous secret,
Will you allow?
How is your new wedding vow?
Are you poisoned by word of mouth?
If you need to whisper to your child now,
Say, “I’m sorry, this world isn’t that round.”
Bridge (Her):
I did it,
I told my kid;
How my past has been,
With you I mean,
This secret is for sharing,
For the deserving;
And I told everything,
My kid asked for it.
Chorus 3 (A voice within him):
If your child knows your deepest dimmest secret,
Will you mind?
If your child tells out your precious previous secret,
Will you allow?
How is your new wedding vow?
Are you poisoned by word of mouth?
If you need to whisper to your child now,
Say, “I’m sorry, this world isn’t that round.”
Bridge (Him):
You did it,
You told my kid;
How my past has been,
With you I mean,
This secret is not for sharing,
Not for the deserving;
Yet you told everything,
My kid asked for it.
Verse 3 (Together):
(Him) My secret, your secret,
(Her) To our kid, I’ve spoken.
