What She Don't Know Won't Hurt Her

(album: This Dream's On Me - 1982)

My woman thinks I wouldn't cheat on her when we're apart
But there's a secret hidden in the shadows of my heart
The truth is catching up with me and it's hard to hide my shame
What she don't know won't hurt her but it's driving me insane

My mind can't take my body running 'round anymore
That guilty feelin's waiting for me right outside my door
So let's just call it off tonight and let my conscience be
What she don't know won't hurt her but it's destroying me

It bothers me every time I hear the doorbell ring
That someone might be dropping by to tell her everything
I stay upset 'cause I don't know if anybody sees
What she don't know won't hurt her but it's destroying me

My mind can't take my body running 'round anymore
That guilty feelin's waiting for me right outside my door
So let's just call it off tonight and let my conscience be
What she don't know won't hurt her but it's destroying me
What she don't know won't hurt her but, Lord, it's killing me
