We Have No Secrets Tab

by Carly Simon


We Have No Secrets from No Secrets - 1972


We have no secrets  
                          
We tell each other everything
                         
About the lovers in the past
               
And why they didn't last

         
We share a cast of characters from A to Z
                     
We know each others fantasies
                         
And though we know each other better when we explore

           
Sometimes I wish
           
Often I wish
           
That I never knew
                     
Some of those secrets of yours


The water was cold
                     
The beach was empty but for one
            
Now you were lying in the sun
                
Wanting and needing no one

       
Then some child came
        
You never asked for her to come
                      
She drank a pint of your rum
                    
And later when you told me
                
You said she was a bore

           
Sometimes I wish
           
Often I wish
           
That I never knew
                     
Some of those secrets of yours

                
In the name of honesty
                        
In the name of what is fair
                       
You always answer my questions
                               
But they don't always answer my prayers

 
And though I know you say
                         
That it's me that you adore
           
Sometimes I wish
           
Often I wish
                          
That I never, never, never knew
                     
Some of those secrets of yours
                     
Some of those secrets of yours
                     
Some of those secrets of yours


We have no secrets
Tell each other most everything now
