like a fire burning under the skin
i don't dare speak it
but i can't keep it in
oh no, tell me where do i begin
kept me from sleeping last night again
i just can't shake it
i can't keep it in

oh no, tell me where do i begin
if i came out and told you
would it come as a surprise
maybe you've already seen it
read between the lines

like a secret in a small, small town
this news is bound to get around
(bound to get around)
been comin' for a long, long time
and i'm startin' to show the signs
of the love that i found

like a dry river bed
when the flood waters spin
try to contain it but i can't keep it in
oh no, tell me where do i begin
love came calling, an' it's hard to pretend
' cause i'm still shaking, i can't keep it in

oh no, tell me where do i begin
i could try to hide my feelings
but this emotion will not lie
i'm afraid you might have seen it
burning in my eyes

like a secret in a small, small town
this news is bound to get around
(bound to get around)
been comin' for a long, long time
startin' to show the signs
of the love that i found
