Nobody pays much attention They misuse their time Maybe its better to mention moments passing by A secret to tell, I've got something they don't have And baby its you who is lifting me high [Chorus] I just want to be close to you Cause I understand the strength of your hand Oh and the love you put me through You're more than a friend so love me again Baby you're full of affection People stop and smile Maybe they see my intention To make life worth while A secret to tell, I've got something they don't have And baby its you who is lifting me high A secret to tell Now there's nothing holding back Cause baby its you that is making me fly [Chorus:Repeat x2] A secret to tell (I'm telling secrets now) Now there's nothing holding back Cause baby its you who is making me fly Oh baby, oh yeah Love that you put me through (Love that you put me through) [Chorus]
