Check it out, Joe



I'll tell you a secret if you know where to keep it

And you promise not to tell

Got a tale or two about a girl

That you could have sworn you knew so well

It was years ago, though it sounds like yesterday

You came on strong and she gave it all away



He had an angel's face, defied his grace, and an ace sittin' up his sleeve

But never mind, 'cos love is blind, and she needed to believe

His touch could feel, he held her safe from harm

If thoughts could kill, she'd have died there in his arms



Deep in the dark, ooh-oh-oh

The thunder in her heart, ooh-oh-oh

He told her every single lie

He swore he'd never told anyone before

Now you wake up in the dead of night, and reach out to touch her hair

But the bed is empty, turn on the light, and she's not even there

Then a note she wrote, you read that thing and weep

'cos if you love someone, and never know what runs so deep



Deep in the dark, ooh-oh-oh

The thunder in her heart, ooh-oh-oh

She told you every single lie

She swore she'd never heard before

Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha



Deep in the dark, ooh-oh-oh

The thunder in her heart, ooh-oh-oh

She told you every single lie

She swore she'd never heard before

Two, three, four
