I know a secret garden It's hidden deep inside my head By hedges safely guarded Shut tight except in bed I used to ward off others I used to keep it buttoned up But now that I have met you I think it's time to stop So if you follow me I'll take you there I will guide you through my mind But don't betray my trust or confidence Be careful, please be kind My mind is all I got these days If I don't open up, back up and look the other way You know my mind is all I got these days If I don't open up, back up, and try another day Another time You're not supposed to read it Nor try to change or make it up for me I hope that once you've seen it Your kindness sets me free And even though I trust you Forgive me for I've closed the door before Come in 'cause I would love to I've never been so sure So if you follow me I'll take you there I will guide you through my mind But don't betray my trust or confidence Be careful, please be kind My mind is all I got these days If I don't open up, back up and look the other way You know my mind is all I got these days If I don't open up, back up, and try another day Another time My mind is all I got these days If I don't open up, back up and look the other way You know my mind is all I got these days If I don't open up, back up, and try another day Another time
