i can't keep this from you

i can't keep this from you

i've held it in so long

it's time to tell the truth

keeping it from you is wrong

i can't keep this from you

it's so simple i'm afraid

when i tell you how i feel

you'll just laugh and call me crazy

and i can't keep

this love a secret

and i don't want

to go on longing

i just want a chance for me to prove

my love and i can't keep this from you

i can't keep this from you

it's hard to breathe in here

i just seem to act the fool

every time i feel you near

i can't keep this from you

no matter what you say

anything is better now

than going through my life this way

and i can't keep

this love a secret

and i don't want

to go on longing

i just want a chance for me to prove

my love and i can't keep this from you

and i love every move you make

can't you hear every heart you break?

and don't you know when i hear your name?

just the sound of it shoots me down in flames

and i can't keep

this love a secret

and i don't want

to go on longing

i just want a chance for me to prove

my love and i can't keep this from you

i can't keep

this love a secret

and i don't want

to go on longing

i just want a chance for me to prove

my love and i can't keep this from you

i just want a chance for me to prove

my love and i can't keep this from you

oh no i just can't keep this from you
