Let's keep it between us
These people meddling in our affairs
They're not our friends

Let's keep it between us
Before the whole door closes
And it comes to an end

They'll tell you one thing, me another
Till we don't know who to trust
Ohh, darlin', can we keep it between us?

Let's keep it between us
We've been through too much together
That they'll never share

They've had nothing to say to us before
Now all of a sudden it's as if
They've always cared

All we need is honesty
A little humility and trust
Ohh, darlin', can we keep it between us?

I know we're not perfect, then again, so what?
That ain't no reason to treat you like a snake
Or to treat me like a slut
And it's makin' me so angry

Could we just lay back for a moment
Before we wake up and find ourselves
In a game that we both have lost?
These easy cures and easy handsomes
Somethin' tells me we can't afford the cost

'Cause some things not fit for human ears
Some things don't need to be discussed
Ohh, darlin', can we keep it between us?

They'll tell you one thing, me another
Till we don't know who to trust
Ohh, darlin', let's keep it between us

Let's keep it between us
Before the whole thing breaks down
And goes too far

If we can't settle our differences by ourselves
Then we must be worse off
Than they think we are

Back seat drivers don't know the feel of the wheel
But they sure know how to make a fuss
Ohh, darlin', can we keep it between us?
Can we keep it between us?
