Secret Heart
The Monkees · Pool It! [1987]
Can you imagine how I'd feel if you were mine?
Once I know it's not make-believe
It's plain to see that you've got something over me
You hold the key to my secret heart
Just turn the lock
And we could be lovers after dark
[repeat]
With other girls it's just been physical
So many times before I never cared at all
With you I realize what love could be
And I could feel that you've got something over me
You hold the key to my secret heart
Just turn the lock
And we could be lovers after dark
[repeat]
[musical bridge]
You hold the key to my secret heart
Just turn the lock
And we could be lovers after dark
[repeat to fade]
