The secret, I know a secret
A story I'll never tell
About two sweethearts
Who love each other
He is my best friend
She is his girl

The first time I saw her
I couldn't resist her
Her beauty gave me a thrill
She was so lovely and I adored her
I fell in love with 
My best friend's girl

(The secret, the secret)

The first time I saw her
I couldn't resist her
Her beauty gave me a thrill
She was so lovely and I adored her
I fell in love with 
My best friend's girl

And that's my secret
Yes, it's my secret
Nobody knows it, no one but I
And I will love her
Yes, I will love her
But it's my secret until I die
