Secretly - Jimmie Rodgers

Why must I meet you in a secret rendezvous?

Why must we steal away to steal a kiss or two?

Why must we wait to do the things we want to do?

Why, oh why, oh why, oh why, oh why?

Wish we didn’t have to meet secretly

Wish we didn’t have to kiss secretly

Wish we didn’t have to be afraid

To show the world that we’re in love

Till we have the right to meet openly

Till we have the right to kiss openly

We’ll just have to be content to be in love secretly

Why, oh why, oh why, oh why, oh why?

Wish we didn’t have to meet secretly

Wish we didn’t have to kiss secretly

Wish we didn’t have to be afraid

To show the world that we’re in love

Till we have the right to meet openly

Till we have the right to kiss openly

We’ll just have to be content to be in love secretly
