Bonnie Raitt - Let's Keep It Between Us lyrics

rate me

Let's keep it between us<br />

These people meddling in our affairs<br />

They're not our friends<br />

<br />

Let's keep it between us<br />

Before the whole door closes<br />

And it comes to an end<br />

<br />

They'll tell you one thing, me another<br />

Till we don't know who to trust<br />

Ohh, darlin', can we keep it between us?<br />

<br />

Let's keep it between us<br />

We've been through too much together<br />

That they'll never share<br />

<br />

They've had nothing to say to us before<br />

Now all of a sudden it's as if<br />

They've always cared<br />

<br />

All we need is honesty<br />

A little humility and trust<br />

Ohh, darlin', can we keep it between us?<br />

<br />

I know we're not perfect, then again, so what?<br />

That ain't no reason to treat you like a snake<br />

Or to treat me like a slut<br />

And it's makin' me so angry<br />

<br />

Could we just lay back for a moment<br />

Before we wake up and find ourselves<br />

In a game that we both have lost?<br />

These easy cures and easy handsomes<br />

Somethin' tells me we can't afford the cost<br />

<br />

'Cause some things not fit for human ears<br />

Some things don't need to be discussed<br />

Ohh, darlin', can we keep it between us?<br />

<br />

They'll tell you one thing, me another<br />

Till we don't know who to trust<br />

Ohh, darlin', let's keep it between us<br />

<br />

Let's keep it between us<br />

Before the whole thing breaks down<br />

And goes too far<br />

<br />

If we can't settle our differences by ourselves<br />

Then we must be worse off<br />

Than they think we are<br />

<br />

Back seat drivers don't know the feel of the wheel<br />

But they sure know how to make a fuss<br />

Ohh, darlin', can we keep it between us?<br />

Can we keep it between us?
