Silent Parters Lyrics - Branigan Laura

We have to take our chances, we have to keep it down 

We have to steal our kisses when nobody's around 

We have to hide the tenderness inside 

To make love on the sly, you say it's for the better 

We have to speak in riddles to cloak the things we say 

We have to watch our whispers, not to give ourselves away 

We have to run in shadows in the dark 

We have to stand apart when they see us together 

So we're livin' like silent partners, sneakin' like thieves in the night 

Can't let it show, gotta keep it low, so no one knows 

We're silent partners, never come to the light 

It'll never be right, whatever we do 

You need me too much and I'm just not givin' up on you 

We have to keep the secret burnin' on our lips 

We'd both be hurting someone if they caught us here like this 

We have to bear this burden that we share 

Knowin' our affair just can't go on forever 

And we're livin' like silent partners, sneakin' like thieves in the night 

Can't let it show, gotta keep it low, so no one knows 

We're silent partners, never come to the light 

It'll never be right, whatever we do 

You need me too much and I'm just not givin' up on you 

Silent partners 

I can't let it show, we gotta keep it low, so no one knows 

We're silent partners, are we ever gonna come to the light? 

It'll never be right, whatever we do 

You need me too much and I'm just not givin' up 

Silent partners, sneakin' like thieves in the night 

Can't let it show, gotta keep it low, so no one knows 

We're silent partners, are we ever gonna come to the light? 

Can't let it show, gotta keep it low, so no one knows 

We're silent partners, sneakin' like thieves in the night 

Can't let ... [fade out]
