We have to take our chances, we have to keep it down  We have to steal our kisses when nobody's around  We have to hide the tenderness inside  To make love on the sly, you say it's for the better  We have to speak in riddles to cloak the things we say  We have to watch our whispers, not to give ourselves away  We have to run in shadows in the dark  We have to stand apart when they see us together  So we're livin' like silent partners, sneakin' like thieves in the night  Can't let it show, gotta keep it low, so no one knows  We're silent partners, never come to the light  It'll never be right, whatever we do  You need me too much and I'm just not givin' up on you  We have to keep the secret burnin' on our lips  We'd both be hurting someone if they caught us here like this  We have to bear this burden that we share  Knowin' our affair just can't go on forever  And we're livin' like silent partners, sneakin' like thieves in the night  Can't let it show, gotta keep it low, so no one knows  We're silent partners, never come to the light  It'll never be right, whatever we do  You need me too much and I'm just not givin' up on you  Silent partners  I can't let it show, we gotta keep it low, so no one knows  We're silent partners, are we ever gonna come to the light?  It'll never be right, whatever we do  You need me too much and I'm just not givin' up  Silent partners, sneakin' like thieves in the night  Can't let it show, gotta keep it low, so no one knows  We're silent partners, are we ever gonna come to the light?  Can't let it show, gotta keep it low, so no one knows  We're silent partners, sneakin' like thieves in the night  Can't let ...
