lyrics

My love won’t hide, it’s never tucked away.
It lives and breathes, It’s always on display.
No need to pre-tend, I won't even try.
Living my life means not living a lie.
It may not suit you to see me this way
Sorry, my dears, no such thing as “too gay”.
Some say I flaunt, that I put on airs.
I just brush them off with my own special flair.
My love won’t hide, gaze in-to my eyes.
Try not to con-fuse my truth with your lies.
Living my life “In the life” sex and romance get blurred.
Passion that explodes but the love dream deferred.

My love won’t hide, locked up in a cage.
Confined from all movement, I dance center stage.
Long arms extended, legs intertwined,
swirling, a turn to the left then the right.
In close embrace as we’re holding on tight,
out of the shadows, into my sight.

Some lovers dance in the dark, 'neath the cover of night,
I won’t hide from my truth, I tango in light!
