Silent Partners

(Diane Warren & The Doctor) We have to take our chances we have to keep it down We have to steal our kisses when nobody's around We have to hide the tenderness inside To make love on the sly You say it's for the better We have to speak in riddles to cloak the things we say We have to watch our whispers not to give ourselves away We have to run in shadows in the dark We have to stand apart when they see us together So we're livin' like silent partners Sneakin' like thieves in the night Can't let it show, gotta keep it low, so no one knows We're silent partners Never come to the light It'll never be right whatever we do You need me too much and I'm just not givin' up on you We have to keep the secret burnin' on our lips We'd both be hurting someone if they caught us here like this We have to bear this burden that we share Knowin' our affair just can't go on forever And we're livin' like silent partners Sneakin' like thieves in the night Can't let it show, gotta keep it low, so no one knows We're silent partners Never come to the light It'll never be right whatever we do You need me too much and I'm just not givin' up on you Silent partners I can't let it show, we gotta keep it low, so no one knows We're silent partners Are we ever gonna come to the light? It'll never be right, whatever we do You need me too much and I'm just not givin' up Silent partners Sneakin' like thieves in the night Can't let it show, gotta keep it low, so no one knows We're silent partners Are we ever gonna come to the light? Can't let it show, gotta keep it low, so no one knows We're silent partners Sneakin' like thieves in the night
