Silent Partners - Laura Branigan

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
