In Private by Dusty Springfield Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Take your time and tell me
Where you lie
I realise
That we've been found out this time
[Verse 2]
We should stay together
If we can
But what you've planned
Means there's a difference between
[Chorus]
What you're gonna say
In private
You still want my love
We're in this together
And what you're gonna do
In public
Say you were never in love
That you can remember
[Verse 3]
So discreet
I never tried to meet
Your friends or interfere
I took a back seat between
[Chorus]
And what you gonna say
In private?
You still want my love
We're in this together
And what you're gonna do
In public
Say you were never in love
That you can remember
[Bridge]
What you gonna say, ay
When you run back to your wife?
I guess it's just the story of my life
What you gonna say?
[Verse 4]
So take your time
And tell me
Where did you learn
Oh, I may publicise
That there's a difference between
[Chorus]
What you're gonna say
In private?
You still want my love
We're in this together
And what you're gonna do
In public
Say you were never in love
That you can remember
Tell me what you gonna say
In private?, ooh, ooh, ooh
You still want my love
We're in this together
What you gonna say
What you gonna do
And what you're gonna do
In public
Say you were never in love
That you can remember
Take your time and tell me
Where you lie
I realise
That we've been found out this time
[Verse 2]
We should stay together
If we can
But what you've planned
Means there's a difference between
[Chorus]
What you're gonna say
In private
You still want my love
We're in this together
And what you're gonna do
In public
Say you were never in love
That you can remember
[Verse 3]
So discreet
I never tried to meet
Your friends or interfere
I took a back seat between
[Chorus]
And what you gonna say
In private?
You still want my love
We're in this together
And what you're gonna do
In public
Say you were never in love
That you can remember
[Bridge]
What you gonna say, ay
When you run back to your wife?
I guess it's just the story of my life
What you gonna say?
[Verse 4]
So take your time
And tell me
Where did you learn
Oh, I may publicise
That there's a difference between
[Chorus]
What you're gonna say
In private?
You still want my love
We're in this together
And what you're gonna do
In public
Say you were never in love
That you can remember
Tell me what you gonna say
In private?, ooh, ooh, ooh
You still want my love
We're in this together
What you gonna say
What you gonna do
And what you're gonna do
In public
Say you were never in love
That you can remember
