The Lost Art of Keeping a Secret (Live at the Troubadour) Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Well I've got a secret, I cannot say
Blame modern movement to give it away
You've got something, that I understand
Gotta hold it in tightly, call on command
Leap of faith, do you doubt?
Cut you in, I just cut you out

[Chorus]
Whatever you do
Don't tell anyone
Whatever you do
Don't tell anyone

[Verse 2]
I look for reflections in your face
Canine devotion, time can't erase
Out on the corner, or locked in your room
I never believe them, and I never assume
Stuck in belief, there is a lie
Promise is promise, an eye for an eye
We've got something to reveal
No one can know how we feel

[Chorus]
Whatever you do
Don't tell anyone
Whatever you do
Don't tell anyone
Whatever you do-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh
Don't tell anyone
Whatever you do-ooh-ooh-ooh
Don't tell
[Bridge]
I think you already know
How far I'd go not to say
You know the art isn't gone
And I'm taking our song to the grave

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]
Whatever you do
Don't tell anyone
Whatever you do, ha-hoo, ha-hoo
Don't tell anyone
Whatever you do-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, oh
Don't tell anyone
Whatever you do-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, oh
Don't tell

[Outro]
Goodnight, everybody

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
