Silent lover, secret lover, run for cover
When my man's in town

You never been a shy one
You really are a sly one, yes, sire, yes, sire, oh
Comin' right out of hidin'
Slippin' right in and slidin' down to me, oh, baby, oh

And when it's time for worryin'
You're doin' what you're doin' gracefully, oh, baby
When you took me into your arms and shook me
To the core, oh, yeah

Silent lover, secret lover, run for cover
When my man's in town
Silent lover, secret lover, run for cover
When my man's in town

Oh, I guess you really change me
You sort of rearrange me more and more, oh, baby, yeah
Each day you come on stronger, I know you really longer
What's the score, what's the score? Alright

I know you're much too clever, just to go run forever
No, not you, oh, baby, right
You're like a wind wing rover
Just like a wind wing rover, passing through, oh, yeah

And one day you'll say
No use to keep on saying, name the truth, oh, baby

Silent lover, secret lover, run for cover
When my man's in town
Silent lover, secret lover, run for cover
When my man's in town

You never been a shy one
You really are a sly one, yes, sire, yes, sire, oh
Comin' right out of hidin'
Slippin' right in and slidin' down to me, oh, yeah, oh

And when it's time for worryin'
You're doin' what you're doin' gracefully, gracefully
Oh, when you took me into your arms and shook me
To the score, to the score

I guess you really change me
You sort of rearrange me more and more, oh, yeah

Silent lover, secret lover, run for cover
When my man's in town, alright
