Beverley Mahood - You Can Never Tell

Can you keep a secret?
If I told you would you keep it to yourself?
For as much as you may know me now
I need to have you know me even more
Yeah there's more to me than meets the eye
Though I've kept it well disguised
Like the saying goes, you can never tell
Like that old saying goes
You can never tell
It was long before I met you
Long before I came to this place
I was young and so naïve
And someone said I had a pretty face
He took advantage of my innocence
I was alone and so confused
Guess I hid it well, you can never tell
Just like the saying goes
You can never tell

As if I was a castaway
I've lived somewhat alone
Not knowing if one day my heart
Would feel at home

All the pain is never over
And the scars are all but gone
And as long as I remember
I was never in the wrong
You might've thought you finally knew me
Oh, but not like you do now
Anyhow, I thought that you should know
Like the saying goes, you can never tell
Like that old saying goes
You can never tell
