Once we rode together

In a metal firecracker

You told me I was your queen

You told me I was your biker

You told me I was your everything

Once I was in your blood

And you were obsessed with me You wanted to paint my picture

You wanted to undress me You wanted to see me in your future

All I ask

Don’t tell anybody the secrets

Don’t tell anybody the secrets

I told you

All I ask

Don’t tell anybody the secrets

Don’t tell anybody the secrets

I told you

Once you held me so tight

I thought I’d lose my mind

You said I rocked your world

You said it was for all time

You said that I would always be your girl

We’d put on ZZ Top

And turn em up real loud

I used to think you were strong

I used to think you were proud

I used to think nothing could go wrong

All I ask

Don’t tell anybody the secrets

Don’t tell anybody the secrets

I told you

All I ask

Don’t tell anybody the secrets

I told you
