SKELETONS IN THE CLOSET

WHAT... HOLD ON.... NOW, WAIT A MINUTE,
THAT WAS A LONG TIME AGO.
WHAT YOU HEARD MAY WELL BE TRUE,
BUT GIVE ME A BREAK,
YOU KNOW, I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW YOU.
HAVEN'T YOU EVER DONE SOMETHING
WITHOUT THINKING OF THE CONSEQUENCES?
WELL, I'VE DONE MORE THAN MY SHARE,
BUT I'VE COME TO MY SENSES.

WE'VE ALL GOT SKELETONS IN THE CLOSET
THAT WE CAN'T MAKE DISAPPEAR,
AND YOU'RE BOUND TO RUN INTO A RUMOUR OR TWO,
THAT I WOULDN'T WANT YOU TO HEAR.
BUT, PAY NO ATTENTION
WHEN YOU HEAR THOSE RATTLING BONES,
'CAUSE MY SKELETONS IN THE CLOSET
HAVE LONG BEEN DEAD AND GONE.

WOAH... SLOW DOWN... JUST HOLD YOUR HORSES
I'M NOT THE BEAST THAT YOU THINK.
SURE MY REPUTATION'S SHOT,
BUT PEOPLE CAN CHANGE,
YOU THINK I'M STILL STUCK IN THE SAME SLOT.
HOW CAN I GET YOU TO BELIEVE
THAT I'M OVER MY PAST INDISCRETIONS?
CAN'T WE LAY THIS TO REST, AND
PUT AN END TO THESE QUESTIONS?
(CHORUS)
I DIDN'T EXPECT YOU TO LOVE IT,
BUT WHY YOU WANNA MAKE SO MUCH OF IT.
(CHORUS)
