It's a well kept secret A truth we never speak of But nonetheless I can see it in your eyes, I can see it in your eyes and It hasn't been enough weeks yet Conventions leave us speechless And I adore you but I am left tongue tied, I am left tongue tied and The three little words appear on the radio or in a TV show and I look at you to see if you heard it too Did it light a spark in you? I forget about what, when, time, and place, (forget about, I forget about) Cat got my tongue trying to keep my secret safe (desperately trying to keep it safe) And I guess I can't hold it in much longer, feelings growing stronger 'Till I'm forced to say I'm forced to say I love you I love you I'll keep it shut like the Fort Knox, keep my sentiment on lock down, down So we get to say it afraid I may break it After you take me there I taste it on your lips I see it in your stare, and I bite my tongue and hold my breathe i wouldn't want to be premature God forbid I end up premature Said, I forget about what, when, time, and place (I forget about, I forget about) Cat got my tongue trying to keep my secret safe (desperately trying to keep it safe) And I guess I can't hold it in much longer, Feelings growing stronger 'Till I'm forced to say I'm forced to say I love you I love you So what will happen come down, I wake up and the thrills gone? Or will I feel it beating harder in your chest, your heart beat harder in your chest? After you take me there I taste it on your lips I see it in your stare, and I bite my tongue and hold my breathe i wouldn't want to be premature Keep it shut like the Fort Knox, like the Fort Knox Keep it shut like the Fort Knox, like the Fort Knox Keep my sentiment, keep my sentiment on lock down
