If a man can love a liar
And a woman can love a thief
There's a few things, baby
You should know about me
I've always looked for power
In all the lovers I knew
But now I know the glory
Of simply loving you

You see, I don't play the old charades
(I don't play the old charades)
Ooh, it's time to stop the masquerade
(Time to stop the masquerade)
Why don't you strip me bare? (feel it)
Feel the truth (feel it)
That's all I've got to give to you (you)

Why don't you take these secrets, oh, oh
But keep 'em confidential
Strictly confidential
Keep 'em confidential
Strictly confidential
Keep 'em strictly confidential

Loving you, baby, is on my mind
Keep 'em, keep 'em
Loving you, baby, is on my mind
Hey, keep 'em, keep 'em
Loving you, baby, is on my mind
Keep 'em, keep 'em
Loving you, baby, is on my mind
Keep 'em, keep 'em

I would call you lover
But I used that name before
Livin' undercover
Always keeping score
But there's a few things 'bout you, baby
That's breaking the chain of lies
(No one else could make me)
No one else could make me
Open up my eyes

You see, I won't play the old charades
(I won't play the old charades)
It's time to stop the masquerade
(Time to stop the masquerade)
Why don't you strip me bare? (feel it)
Feel the truth (feel it)
That's all I've got to give to you (you)

Why don't you take these secrets, oh, oh
But keep 'em confidential
Strictly confidential
Keep 'em confidential
Strictly confidential
Keep 'em confidential
Strictly confidential
Keep 'em confidential
Strictly confidential
Keep 'em strictly confidential

Keep it, keep it
Keep it, keep it
Keep it, keep it
Keep it, keep it
Keep it, keep it
Keep it, keep it
Keep it, keep it
Keep it, keep it

Loving you, baby, is on my mind
Why don't you just (keep it) keep it (keep it), keep it
Mmm, yeah, won't you (keep it)
Just keep it (keep it) confidential
Lovin', lovin' you (keep it), keep it (keep it), keep it
Lovin', lovin' you (keep it), keep it (keep it)
Ooh, ooh (keep it), keep it (keep it) confidential
Lovin', lovin' (keep it), lovin' (keep it), lovin' you
Lovin', lovin' you (keep it), lovin' (keep it), keep it
