[English]

Things haven't been the same

Since you came into my life

You found a way to touch my soul

And I'm never, ever, ever, ever gonna let it go

Happiness lies in your own hand

It took me much too long to understand

How it could be

Until you shared your

Secret with me...

Something's comin' over

Mmm-mmm something's comin' over

Mmm-mmm something's comin' over me

My baby's got a secret

You gave me back the paradise

That I thought I lost for good

You helped me find the reasons why

It took me by surprise that you understood

You knew all along

What I never wanted to say

Until I learned to love myself

I was never ever lovin' anybody else

Happiness lies in your own hand

It took me much too long to understand

How it could be

Until you shared your

Secret with me...

Something's comin' over

Mmm-mmm something's comin' over

Mmm-mmm something's comin' over me

My baby's got a secret

Mmm-mmm something's comin' over

Mmm-mmm something's comin' over

Mmm-mmm something's comin' over me

My baby's got a secret

Happiness lies in your own hand

It took me much too long to understand

How it could be

Until you shared your

Secret with me...

...

Mmm-mmm something's comin' over

Mmm-mmm something's comin' over

Mmm-mmm something's comin' over me

My baby's got a secret

Mmm-mmm something's comin' over

Mmm-mmm something's comin' over

Mmm-mmm something's comin' over me

My baby's got a secret

Mmm-mmm my baby's got a secret

Mmm-mmm my baby's got a secret

Mmm-mmm my baby's got a secret for me

Mmm-mmm
