Saaxiib Qurux Badan

You don’t need to give me reasons
I understand
Some things are best kept secret
And you’ve done all you can
I want no recompense
Just as much as you can give of yourself
If that makes sense

Go on, tell me that you love me
Show me you dare
We may not venture out in public
At least I know, you care
It can’t be guaranteed
Just give me what you can of yourself
That’s all I need

No one will know who I am
I think it’s possible
Only to love

You play such silly games
But if everyone knew about us
I’d feel no shame

– From “Confidential”

(from Tina Turner’s 1996 album Wildest Dreams)
