Don t be unkindfor once be untrue -
can t pretend I care for heronly you
Just be on timespare me your shame
for once don t mention her name.
Now I cannot claim angel s wings
but mention her name and I ll wreck everything
I saw things not meant for my eyes
I was happy once and then twice.
I said things I shouldn t have said.
I told tales of days in your bed.
In love and war there s nothing sacred.
Just don t pretendwherever you go
there are things that only I know -
because I m surewhen she s there
that you tell a few of the secrets of yours
that I had kept for you.
I saw things not meant for my eyes
I was happy once and then twice.
I said things I shouldn t have said.
I told tales of days in your bed.
In love and war there s nothing sacred.
