We have to take our chances, we have to keep it down 
We have to steal our kisses when nobody's around 
We have to hide the tenderness inside 
To make love on the sly, you say it's for the better 

We have to speak in riddles to cloak the things we say 
We have to watch our whispers, not to give ourselves away 
We have to run in shadows in the dark 
We have to stand apart when they see us together 

So we're livin' like silent partners, sneakin' like thieves in the night 
Can't let it show, gotta keep it low, so no one knows 
We're silent partners, never come to the light 
It'll never be right, whatever we do 
You need me too much and I'm just not givin' up on you 

We have to keep the secret burnin' on our lips 
We'd both be hurting someone if they caught us here like this 
We have to bear this burden that we share 
Knowin' our affair just can't go on forever 

And we're livin' like silent partners, sneakin' like thieves in the night 
Can't let it show, gotta keep it low, so no one knows 
We're silent partners, never come to the light 
It'll never be right, whatever we do 
You need me too much and I'm just not givin' up on you 

Silent partners 
I can't let it show, we gotta keep it low, so no one knows 
We're silent partners, are we ever gonna come to the light? 
It'll never be right, whatever we do 
You need me too much and I'm just not givin' up 

Silent partners, sneakin' like thieves in the night 
Can't let it show, gotta keep it low, so no one knows 
We're silent partners, are we ever gonna come to the light? 
Can't let it show, gotta keep it low, so no one knows 
We're silent partners, sneakin' like thieves in the night 
Can't let ... [fade out]
