Do you find it hard to tell me
To tell that you really love me
‘Cos I find it hard to tell you
To tell you that I really love you

And I know what’s in your heart
In your mind, in your body, and your soul
But it’s easy when we whisper
Not letting people know.

We wanna shout it out loud
But we can’t let people know
We wanna shout it out loud
But our love is not for show
