keep it low

Talk to me like you would a stranger
Walk with me like you would
the man you want
to comprehend you,
to defend you from all danger.
To wake up beside you.
Should you decide to.
I'm gonna keep it low.
I'll keep it low.

Maybe you wonder why I whisper.
Baby, you've never felt
such a sudden chill in your heart
like it's snowing
and there's no one left to listen
to your frozen laughter
the morning after.
I'm gonna keep it low.
I'll keep it low.

All the words I don't say
can never hurt me.
I've learned to keep those
secrets to myself.
All the women that I don't stay with
can never desert me.

I've got a good reason for all my fears.
It appears that I lost it.
From a love like yours
I've been running for years.
I'm exhausted.
If the truth is
I've been living a lie
then I'm gonna cry out,
"Our love won't die out!"
I'm gonna keep it low.
Keep it low...
