Discreet Lyrics by Cherrelle

Affair

1988

[Intro]
What song are we doing now, Jimmy Jam?

Woo
Somebody help me
Ow! Woo!

[Verse 1]
Not a word from my lips
'Cause I know loose lips sink ships
Never seen, never heard
Call me sneaky, but this is my word

[Chorus]
Discreet, woo
Discreet
(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
Discreet
Discreet, woo, ooh, hey
(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)

[Verse 2]
From my mouth to your ears
Out your mouth and now it's everywhere
Like a virus spreading flu
You can run, but the gossip will find you

[Chorus]
Discreet, woo! Mhm
Discreet, right, right, one more time, woo
(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
Discreet, yeah, ooh, ooh
Discreet, oh, let me tell you
(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)

[Bridge]
(Discreet) Don't put my business in the streets
(Discreet) Tell all my friends where we meet
(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)

You wouldn't give your money to someone else
(Your money)
To spend the wrong way
So why give someone else's ears
Something for their big mouths to talk about
(Discreet, discreet)

Where I go, who I see
What I do, it's my business
If there's something between us two
There's one thing I ask you
Just be discreet

[Chorus]
Discreet (Oh, spreading all my business)
Discreet
(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
Discreet (Be a little careful, darling)
Discreet

[Outro]
Don't you, don't you
Don't you go out with Alex?
Right, I thought so
Discreet, woo!
I hate to be the bearer of bad news
But, girl, you wouldn't believe what I heard
Discreet
He was, he was, he was all over her
Discreet
Spitting on my name
Spreading all over town
Hey, well, look, just don't say I said anything
Oh no
Discreet, woo
Discreet
Discreet, oh
Discreet
Discreet
Discreet, ooh, ooh, ooh
Discreet
Discreet
Discreet
Hey, well, look, just don't say I said anything
