Seal it in an envelope, lock it in a safe,
Sink it to the ocean floor below.
But time and tide will raise it up into the light of day
Did you really think no one would ever know?

Dress it up in camouflage in a jungle deep
In some far-off archipelago.
But wind and rain will wash it clean for all the world to see
Did you really think no one would ever know?

Fly it to the southern pole, dig a wintry grave
Underneath a frozen mound of snow.
But the warming sun will bring a thaw, and melt the ice away
Did you really think no one would ever know?

Cloak it in a mystery, write it up in code,
A puzzle that would even fool Poirot.
But someone always comes along, the secret to expose
Did you really think no one would ever know?

Take a vow of silence, sign an oath in blood
Keep as quiet as Marcel Marceau
But even as your lips are sealed, your thoughts still shout out loud
Did you really think no one would ever know?

So, circle up the lawyers, plausibly deny—
No tit for tat, no quid pro quo.
But the truth you’ve locked inside your heart is written in your eyes
Did you really think no one would ever know?
