losers weep
stacey earle kathleen haskard jack earle
goin' back where i came from
goin' lookin' for someone
someone i left behind
we were both babies at the time
my family moved away
i wanted you to go but you had to stay
and out the back window i waved goodbye
your mother held you as you cried
we play hide and seek, finders keep
only the loser is left to weep
got a secret but can i keep it
i better cross my heart and hope to die
i'm gonna go be a big girl now
i'm gonna go show them just how
i can make it on my own
they'll say my girl how you've grown
i'll be married in the spring
no white dress, no diamond ring
with a baby on the way i thought i heard them say
i guess she never learned a thing
we play hide and seek, finders keep
only the loser is left to weep
got a secret but can i keep it
i better cross my heart and hope to die
some said leave well enough alone
some things are better if never known
but i still remember the place
just have no name for an empty space
how i reap what i have sown
at least i get to keep what i have grown
i'll let the willow weep for a secret it must keep
in a mission down in san antone
we play hide and seek, finders keep
only the loser is left to weep
well i got a secret but can i keep it
i better cross my heart and hope to die
