about

A dirty song about a dirty subject: Cheatin'. Redone even dirtier on Ol' Yeller's "Penance" album (2003).

lyrics

Secrets
I’m still learning things about girls and boys
Who’d be deceived if you had a choice?
And if you’re the deceiver and she’s the believer
Which is the mask
Which is your face?
An old friend of mine
Has been replaced
By some crazy fool playing games with love
Insisting that it’s harmless
And when I see you now it’s like talking to a wall
You’re lookin’ over your shoulder like someone’s coming after you
Looking for spies, all them secrets and lies
And all the stories that’ll never be told
Ah, take off the mask
And show me your face
An old friend of mine
Has been replaced
By some crazy fool playing games with love
Insisting that it’s harmless
It ain’t harmless
Because you’re living in the dark
Nobody knows anything about you no more
You don’t let anybody in no more
You shut the whole gang out
You the the ol’ gang out
You shut the whole gang out
You shut the ol’ gang out
You ain’t running form the law
You got no hellhounds on your trail
You never been arrested and you never been to jail
Just hiding from that woman, even though she can’t tell
You’re just mystical enough to keep her under your spell
