Small time people

Got their eyes on you

Never get away with the things you do

Dirty little secrets, dirty little lies

When you're caught red-handed

Then you can't deny



It's a sad situation, got a bad reputation

From the last night out with friends

I'm caught between heartbreak of heaven

And speaking of the devil

Here she comes again



Dirty little secrets, gonna drag you down

Dirty little secrets, goin' round this town



You can hear the whispers behind your back

Living a lie it will never last

People never thinking of the way you feel

One stab in the back can never heal



Couldn't stand the temptation

Didn't need the frustration

Took a gamble I could never win

I'm feeling like a victim of emotion

Forget about demotion

Because, here she comes again



Dirty little secrets, gonna drag you down

Dirty little secrets, goin' round this town



Didn't see it coming when I first met you

New kid in town had nothing to do

Late night caller knockin' at my door

Come to tell me her trouble couldn't take no more



Now I see the complication

Didn't need the aggravation

From the last night out with friends

I'm caught between heartbreak of heaven

And speaking of the devil

Here she comes again



Dirty little secrets, gonna drag you down

Dirty little secrets, all round this town
