Why must I meet you in a secret
rendezvous?
Why must we steal away to steal a kiss or two?
Why must we
wait to do the things we want to do?
Why, oh, why, oh, why, oh, why, oh
why?

Wish we didn't have to meet secretly
Wish we didn't have to kiss
secretly
Wish we didn't have to be afraid
To show the world that we're in
love

Till we have the right to meet openly
Till we have the right to
kiss openly
We'll just have to be content to be in love
secretly



Why, oh, why, oh,
why, oh, why, oh why?

Wish we didn't have to meet secretly
Wish we
didn't have to kiss secretly
Wish we didn't have to be afraid
To show the
world that we're in love

Till we have the right to meet openly
Till we
have the right to kiss openly
We'll just have to be content to be in love
secretly

END of 45-single version


Transcriber's NOTE:
Additional verse NOT sung by Rodgers

Why must we wait until we're
dancing cheek to cheek?
To whisper all the words of love we long to
speak?
Why must our love be like a game of
hide-and-seek?
