Lyrics:
Tell you that I love you, that I can’t hold back
The feeling that you give me, want to give it right back
I know you always win at this particular game
I need to know the rules if you want me to play
You treat me like your boyfriend
And trust me like a, like a very best friend
Kiss me like your boyfriend
You call me up like you would your best friend
You turn me on like you would your boyfriend
But I don’t wanna be your secret anymore
I’m trying to be honest ‘cause I can’t relax
Oh when I get around you I can’t hide the fact
I let you take advantage ‘cause it felt so good
I blame myself for thinking we both understood
You treat me like your boyfriend
And trust me like a, like a very best friend
Kiss me like your boyfriend
You call me up like you would your best friend
You turn me on like you would your boyfriend
But I don’t wanna be your secret anymore
Don’t wanna, don’t wanna play the crying game
Do you feel the same? (You feel the same)
Don’t wanna, don’t wanna spin the bottle again
Do you feel the same? (You feel the same)
You treat me like your boyfriend
And trust me like a, like a very best friend
Kiss me like your boyfriend
You call me up like you would your best friend
You turn me on like you would your boyfriend
But I don’t wanna be your secret anymore
You treat me like your boyfriend
And trust me like a, like a very best friend
Kiss me like your boyfriend
You call me up like you would your best friend
You turn me on like you would your boyfriend
But I don’t wanna be your secret anymore
