Secrets
Lyrics:
[English]
Oh, won't you stay for a while?
I'll take you on a ride if you can keep a secret
Oh, won't you stay for a while?
Show me darkness, baby, show me deepness
Oh, won't you stay for a while?
I'll take you on a ride if you can keep a secret
Oh, won't you stay for a while?
Show me darkness, baby, show me deepness
Oh, won't you stay for a while?
Oh, won't you stay for a while?
I'll take you on a ride if you can keep a secret
Stay a while, stay a while
And I will make it worth your while, worth your while
Stay a while, stay a while
And I'ma go the extra mile, extra mile
Boy, if you wait until the lights go down
I got some tricks that help you scream it out, so
Stay a while, stay a while
And I will make it worth your while, worth your while
Oh, won't you stay for a while?
Oh-oh, won't you stay for a while, for a while?
Oh, won't you stay for a while?
Oh-oh, won't you stay for a while, for a while?
Oh, won't you stay for a while?
I'll take you on a ride if you can keep a secret
