Secrets

I once had a secret, tried so hard to keep it
I tucked it quite safely away in my head
To the person who whispered it to me - I promised
That nothing about it would ever be said

A cat in a bag becomes very uncomfortable
Birds in a cage become eager to fly
Pen something in, it will try to get out
A secret can't wait to get whispered about

Now this mischievous secret, I could not believe it
Was seeking a way to get out of my head
In a chat with a friend it appeared that his ears
Were begging to hear something secret instead

I gave it some thought and it seemed I should not
Keep a secret away from my very best friend
So a promise was made and I whispered it in
And the secret had managed to move on again

Chorus

Well the secret was eager to find other ears
I'm afraid with my friend that it didn't take long
He gave some resistance, but two younger sisters
With giggles convinced him to whisper it on

The secret was thrilled, and it soon had the girls
Plan a neighborhood party for all of their friends
The next thing I knew it was me they included
And the secret was whispered to me once again

Chorus

If you let the cat out of the bag it might scratch
But the door of a cage is to set something free
With a life of its own, if your secret gets out
Have no doubt that it's bound to be whispered about

Chorus
