I'd like to be a fly on your wall,
When you think you all alone,
Learn your secrets once and for all,
Never tell no one.
I can't read your mind,
It's secret telling time.

Tell me, how do I turn you on,
Tell me, how do I turn you on,
Oh, oh, oh maybe there's a game we could play,
Is there something that you want,
But you're too shy to say.
How do I turn you on,
Turn you on to me.

Oh, I could take you a way,
A million miles from here,
When I'm getting close baby say,
With a whisper in my ear.
How to make you mine,
It's secret telling time.

Tell me, how do I turn you on,
Tell me, how do I turn you on,
Maybe there's a game we could play,
Is there something that you want,
But you're too shy to say,
How do I turn you on,
Turn you on to me.

Just between you and me,
I'm a little nervous too,
But just beyond our wildest dreams,
It's waiting for me, and it's waiting for you.

Oh, oh, oh, maybe there's a game we can play,
Is there something that you want, but you're too shy to say,
How do I turn you on,
Turn you on to me.
