Lyrics
CAN'T HIDE YOUR LOVE
VERSE:
She lights up when she sees him,
He's like her big brother.
He's got his own reasons
He won't say he loves her.
He won't show his cards,
So they're stuck where they are,
With his undeclared love
Concealed in his heart.
Stronger than the tide when it's drawn to the moon,
Bigger than the elephant crowding the room--
CHORUS:
He loves her so,
He won't say it out loud,
But it's obvious to us.
The whole world knows
You can't hide your love,
Can't hide your love.
VERSE:
Every day he brings coffee,
He knows how she takes it.
They hang out and talk,
He works so hard to make it
Seem casual and light.
But anyone with two eyes
Can see from his face
What he's feeling inside.
He thinks it's a secret she'll never unlock,
If everyone sees it, then maybe it's not.
(REPEAT CHORUS)
BRIDGE:
What would she do
If he spoke from his heart?
If he told her the truth,
Would she run to his arms,
Or run away?
If she already knows,
Then he might as well say
LAST CHORUS:
That he loves her so,
He could say it out loud,
And be holding her close.
The whole world knows
You can't hide your love,
Everyone knows,
You can't hide your love.
