Sweethearts Of The Rodeo - I Don't Want You to Know

(Don Schlitz - Janis Gill)

I hear your car pull into the drive
I say to myself well he's made it home alive
I hear the turning of your key in the door
The sound of your boots as they fall to the floor.

And one by one I hear you climbin' the stairs
You take off your clothes and you lay 'em on the chair
Then you lie down beside me and whisper something sweet
But I keep my eyes closed and pretend that I'm asleep.

I don't want you to know I've been waitin' for you
I'd rather you show that you've been needin' me too
I know it's a game but I love it just the same
I don't want you to know I've been waitin' for you.

--- Instrumental ---

This is secret I keep even from you
I need to know there ain't nothin' you won't do
So I pretend for just as long as I can
The cards are mine but they're all in your hand.

I don't want you to know I've been waitin' for you
I'd rather you show that you've been needin' me too
I know it's a game but I love it just the same
I don't want you to know I've been waitin' for you.

I don't want you to know I've been waitin' for you
I'd rather you show that you've been needin' me too
I know it's a game but I love it just the same
I don't want you to know I've been waitin' for you...
