Tell me a secret, tell me a lie
Tell me the truth if you have to
Say what you see fit but don't ask me why
Love never seems to last youIn times like these
It's hard to keep a man off his knees
In times like these
It's hard to keep a man off his kneesOver a barrel, under a spell

Thoughtlessly chasing the thunder
Traveling lightly, traveling blind
Never detouring to wonder why
