I had a secret<br />
I had a secret<br />
And told it<br />
To my best friend.<br />
She told her second best friend<br />
Who told her best friend 5<br />
And no one else.<br />
No one else<br />
Told somebody else<br />
Who told anyone<br />
Who told her best friends. 10<br />
Now everyone knows<br />
My secret<br />
So it’s not a secret<br />
Any more. Now<br />
It’s news. 15<br />
