From Pat Benatar’s Innamorata
Written by P. Giraldo/N. Giraldo
Dirty Little Secrets
It seems I loved you for so long
It seems like all of my life
Just like a child who doesn’t belong
You’d run, ’til even the sun became your shadow
And I know you better that I know myself, you know
So why pretend you’ve got somewhere else to go
Sometimes I believed, what you had to say
Then I watched you bleed, all the truth away
Somewhere in my heart, there’s a place I know
Where all our dirty little secrets go
Nobody’s perfect, certainly not us
We’ve all got secrets to keep
I would have kept yours safe in my heart
You would have always known where to find me
And I hate you in your innocence, you know
But I hate myself even more for lovin’ you so
Sometimes I believed, what you had to say
Then I watched you bleed, all the truth away
Somewhere in my heart, there’s a place I know
Where all our dirty little secrets go
Sometimes it hurt so bad that you cry
Then there’s the times you wish you had died
Sometimes the truth is worse than the lie, sometimes
Sometimes it’s best to lock it away
In a place that’s secret and safe
Sometimes you just pretend you don’t know
Sometimes it’s best to let go
Sometimes I believed, what you had to say
Then I watched you bleed, all the truth away
Somewhere in my heart, there’s a place I know
Where all our dirty little secrets go
If you’re a Benatar fan, I strongly suggest getting Innamorata. It’s a beautiful record.
