Clandestine, I could never be your boyfriend
You took too serious the things I said in passing
My pebbles of confusion you took like boulders and comandments
Never realisin' I had no understandin'
Clandestine, oh Clandestine
I may go straight to hell
You may say "Just as well"
And no, I never meant to do no wrong
And I never meant to do ya any harm
Clandestine, you find it much too easy
To keep secrets from me for your own protection
And this is something I, too, do inadvertant
But Clandestine you're supposed to be better than me
Clandestine, oh Clandestine
I may go straight to hell
You may say "Just as well"
And no, I never meant to do no wrong
And I never meant to do ya any harm
Clandestine, I just wanna thank you
You put me places that I may not have gone
I went to the Chinese doctor, he said my yin's deficient
He said my yang's sufficient, you said "I should have known"
Clandestine, oh Clandestine
I may go straight to hell
You may say "Just as well"
And no, I never meant to do no wrong
And I never meant to do ya any harm
You know I never meant to do no wrong
And I never meant to do ya any harm
