Songtexte Secret Life (Extended Mix) - Soft Cell

In your little black book
You've got the names and the favourite persuasions
Of the people in the headlines
I'm in there under A and I'm rated under B
You've the photographs to prove it
And I swear to God it's not me
You've got a hot heart, being hot is your art
You think love is a dirty, dirty word
You pick up the phone and you ring me when I'm at home
And then you put it down and I'm reaching for my Valium

My secret life
Living life on a knife edge of life
Tell my wife and she's just had a breakdown
And I, I'm not rich, but you know I'm top in my pitch
And you'll ruin the lot, finish everything I've got
My secret life, secret life

I'll give you anything, anything to shut you up

Why do you hate me so much?
What have I ever done to you but leave you?

I don't want to play cat and mouse
Have the neighbours looking over at my house
All the secret smiles when I walk in the room
And I think I'm gonna crack up soon
I'm gonna run away, find a place in the dark
Where I don't have to hear the nasty, nasty talk
Change my sex, change my hair
Be hard to find anywhere

My secret life
Living life on a knife edge of life
Tell my wife and she's just had a breakdown
And I, I'm not rich, but you know I'm top in my pitch
And you'll ruin the lot, finish everything I've got
My secret life, my secret life

I'll give you anything, anything to shut you up
Why do you hate me so much?
What have I ever done to you but leave you?
Ooh, my secret life, my secret life, my secret life
My secret life, my se-se-secret life, my se-se-secret life
My se-se-secret life, secret life
Ooh, secret life, ooh, secret life, ooh, secret life
