A promise to keep this secret, <br />Is a hard job. <br />A promise to keep discreet, <br />Is just so hard. <br /> <br />A promise to keep this secret, <br />Is a hard job. <br />A promise to keep discreet, <br />Is just so hard. <br /> <br />Why would somebody have an elicit affair? <br />With a promise to keep this secret, <br />Is a hard job. <br />And do it while sneaking around, <br />In the clear open air? <br />A promise to keep discreet, <br />Is just so hard. <br /> <br />A friend can be a friend to another, <br />Until the end. <br />But a friend can not be trusted, <br />When a cheating begins. <br /> <br />A promise to keep this secret, <br />Is a hard job. <br />A promise to keep discreet, <br />Is just so hard. <br /> <br />And a friend can't be expected to defend a friend. <br />When that friend is also 'friend', <br />To those who swap and cheat on spouses... <br />Of, <br />Other friends! <br />Oh. <br /> <br />A promise to keep this secret, <br />Is a hard job. <br />A promise to keep discreet, <br />Is just so hard. <br /> <br />A promise to keep this secret, <br />Is a hard job. <br />A promise to keep discreet, <br />Is just so hard. <br /> <br />When those swapping spouses sneak from houses, <br />Living just next door??? <br />Keeping this a secret is a hard job. <br /> <br />When those swapping spouses sneak from houses... <br />Living just next door??? <br />Keeping this discreet is just too hard. <br /> <br />A promise to keep this secret, <br />Is a hard job. <br />A promise to keep discreet, <br />Is just so hard. <br /> <br />A promise to keep this secret, <br />Is a hard job. <br />A promise to keep discreet, <br />Is just so hard.<br /><br />Lawrence S.
