Lyrics
Well I never wanted to be your secret baby
Expressing a lack of desire to be someone's secret lover.
Lying ain't no good for our health
Stressing the negative consequences of dishonesty on well-being.
I could give you every reason baby
Offering various reasons to the partner, encouraging authenticity.
But you just got to be yourself
Emphasizing the importance of being true to oneself.
Now tell me
Seeking information about the partner's identity.
Who are ya?
Raising the question, "Who are you?"
I fooled ya
Admitting to deceiving the partner.
Thinking bout taking me twice
Reflecting on the partner's contemplation of a second chance.
Who are ya?
Reiterating the question about the partner's identity.
I fooled ya
Acknowledging the successful deception and manipulation.
Let me down soft and nice
Requesting a gentle and considerate rejection.
You fucked around got guilty of treason baby
Condemning the partner for betrayal and disloyalty.
Who's that out there knockin my door
Questioning someone approaching the singer's space.
Don't wait around for me to come steal ya baby
Advising the partner not to wait for the singer to pursue them.
And I wont ever call no more
Declaring the end of any future contact with the partner.
Well I never wanted to be your secret baby
Reiterating the unwillingness to be a secret lover.
And lying ain't no good for our health
Reemphasizing the negative consequences of dishonesty.
I could give you every reason baby
Offering reasons to the partner again, stressing authenticity.
But you just gotta be yourself
Highlighting the importance of the partner being true to themselves.
Now tell me
Repeating the inquiry into the partner's identity.
Who are ya?
Posing the question, "Who are you?" once more.
I fooled ya
Reaffirming the successful manipulation and deception.
Thinking bout taking me twice
Reflecting on the partner's consideration of a second attempt at deception.
Who are ya?
Reiterating the question about the partner's identity.
I fooled ya
Confirming the success of the deception.
Let me down soft and nice
Requesting a kind and gentle letdown.
Well now
Posing the question again, "Who are you?"
Who are ya?
Reiterating the successful manipulation and deception.
I fooled ya
Highlighting the partner's contemplation of a second attempt at deception.
Thinking bout taking me twice
Repeating the question about the partner's identity.
Well now
Reiterating the success of the manipulation and deception.
Who are ya?
Posing the final question, "Who are you?"
