We can never let them know of the love we have

they would only denounce it and call it bad

you are married to someone else, and I am too

but it hasn't stopped the love I feel  for you

we live in different houses, on the same street

and we speak cordially whenever we pass, or meet

we're in the same social circle

my husband is your best friend

and your wife and I shop together

when the week comes to an end

from all outward appearences

we're all the best of friends

while in our hearts we share a secret

that could bring it all to an end

I wish that I could tell them

that  our love is just and true

and that I've never loved anyone

the way that I love you

but instead we live our separate lives

and go on from day to day

doing our daily duties

in a very family way

our love will stay a secret

that's how its always been

to those who live around us

we're just the best of friends !
