let's keep it between us

Singer:bonnie raitt

let's keep it between us

these people meddling in our affairs

they're not our friends

let's keep it between us

before the whole door closes

and it comes to an end

they'll tell you one thing

me another

'til we don't know who to trust

oh darlin'

let's keep it between us

let's keep it between us

we've been through too much together

that they'll never share

they've had nothing to say to us before

now all of a sudden it's as if

they've always cared

all we need is honesty

a little humility and trust

oh darlin'

can we keep it between us?

i know we're not perfect

then again

so what!

ain't no reason to treat you like a snake

or to treat me like a slut

and it's makin' me so angry!

could we just lay back for a moment

before we wake up and find ourselves

in a game that we both have lost?

these easy cures and easy handsomes

somethin' tells me we can't afford the cost

there's some things not fit for human ears

some things don't need to be discussed

oh darlin'

can we keep it between us?

they'll tell you one thing

me another

'til we don't know who to trust

oh darlin'

let's keep it between us

let's keep it between us

before the whole thing breaks down

and goes too far

if we can't settle our differences by ourselves

then we must be worse off than they think we are

back seat drivers don't know the feel of the wheel

but they sure know how to make a fuss

oh darlin'

can we keep it between us?

can we keep it between us?
