Your Secret Love

Luther Vandross

A kiss in the dark
A certain time I can call you
A letter of love
But no name did you sign
Pretending to all
That we were just friends when I saw you
I didn't know that you wanted me to be
I didn't know that you wanted me for your
(You wanted me) To be

Your secret love
Why can't we tell somebody
'Cause secret loves
Never last as long
Your secret love
Will never be your true love
I can't be no secret baby
It's breakin' my heart (heart, heart)

You should've let me know
from the first time baby
That you were not, were not free to love
How could you wait so long
Oh, what a waste of love, baby
I should've known that you wanted me to be
I should've known
That you wanted me for your
(You wanted me) To be

Your secret love
Why can't we tell somebody
'Cause secret loves
Never mean as much
Your secret love
Will never be your true love
I can't be no secret baby
It's breakin' my heart (heart, heart)

I won't be you secret love
'Cause it's just a waste of my love
I'm tellin' you from the start
I won't be the one who gives you love
When your other guy ain't givin' you none

Don't come now, wait for a while
Let's meet at the place downtown
It's a shame it has to be like this
But I really miss you baby

Your secret love
Why can't we tell somebody
'Cause secret loves
Never last as long
Your secret love
Will never be your true love
I can't be your secret baby
You're breakin' my heart
My heart

Your secret love
Why can't we tell somebody
'Cause secret loves
Never last as long
Your secret love
Will never be your true love
I can't be your secret baby
