Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Feelin' your presence and knowin' you're there
I'm looking across the room, seein' your eyes meet mine
A chill runs up my spine, it's wonderful, yes, it is
Hopin' you'll soon be mine
The stare I can't control
When you smile, your face all aglow
The way I feel for you is a heavenly
Let your feelings show, you warm my soul
[Verse 2]
I just can't go on bein' your (Oh, no) secret lady
Mystery baby, you're the one I want
Yes, you were
I just can't go on bein' your secret lady
Mystery baby, you're the one I need
[Verse 3]
Wantin' to be with you
Don't you know that no one else will do?
But how can we ignore our needs?
So I'll open up, I'll open up my door
If you run to me
[Verse 4]
I just can't go on bein' your secret lady
(I don't want to, baby)
Mystery baby, you're the one I want
I just can't go on bein' your secret lady (No, no)
Mystery baby, you're the one I need
[Verse 5]
A chill runs up my spine, and it drives me wild
Don't tell nobody, don't want nobody to know
[Verse 6]
I just can't go on being your secret lady
(I don't wanna be)
Mystery baby (I don't wanna be) you're the one I want
I just can't go on being your (I don't want) secret lady
(I don't wanna be)
Mystery baby, you're the one I need (I don't wanna be)
[Verse 7]
Oh, what you mean to me
I adore you, so you mean the world to me
Can't ever let you go
[Verse 8]
I just can't go on bein' your secret lady (I'll be your secret lady)
(No, not your mystery baby)
Mystery baby, you're the one I want
(You told me it was all about me)
I just can't go on bein' your secret lady
(I'm too far to be sneakin' around)
Mystery baby, you're the one I need (Oh, baby)
[Verse 9]
I just can't go on bein' your secret lady
(I just can't go on bein', I don't wanna be, yeah)
Mystery baby, you're the one I want
(I wanna be with you, I talked to my girlfriend about it)
I just can't go on bein' your secret lady
(She said, "Don't give up")
Mystery baby (I don't wanna be) you're the one I need
(Girl, don't give up)
[Verse 10]
I just can't go on bein' your secret lady
(Someone saw you huggin' and kissin' in the park)
(Actin' like you had no other lover, you think you're smart)
Mystery baby, you're the one I want
(Oh, no, no, no, l'm not gonna go)
(And tell her what you've been here for)
I just can't go on bein' your secret lady
Mystery baby, you're the one I need
