I've got a secret, one I wish I could share
With my hardworking husband, who remains unaware...
I could tell him tonight, but it's too much to bear-
Timing's everything...

I've got a secret that my wife won't believe
My intentions were good, but they served to deceive
And it all appertains to that cold New Year's Eve-
Timing's everything...

Honey, I'm dying to tell you something-
-A secret I need you to know...
But lies are like weeds
And mine have all started to grow...

I've got a secret and there's no going back
Now I've run out of time and it's time to attack
Just get in and get out; keep the mission on track
Timing's everything

I have a secret, but it may have to wait...
I was secretly hoping I could finish your plate...
"It's police! Open up!" Huh, ten seconds late...
Timing's everything...

Searching for some kind of answer...
A key to release all my pain...
I'm losing myself
But all of my lies remain...

I've got a secret, and there's no one to tell
But this thing that you want, well, I want it as well...
Just a chance to contrive how the chips always fell-
And timing's everything...

Secrets surround us; the lies we invent...
They were made out of love, for the time that we spent...
And they led to a watch in a dusty old vent...
Cause timing's everything...

I've got a secret that I'd kill you to keep:
That my kid's been through cancer and the bills have been steep!
That we're having a baby, but money is tight-
-That watch is my way to get back to that night!

Caught in-a loop of deception!
The puppet cuts off its own string...
Our time has run out
And timing is everything
