Lyrics
Ba da da dum
Ba da da da dum
Ba da da dum
Ba da da da dum
Sitting in the sand
Ba da da da da
We were holding hands
Ba da da da da
You whispered “I love you”
Just between you and me
Ba da da dum
Ba da da da dum
Everyone had gone
Ba da da da da
We stayed on and on
Ba da da da da
Vowing to be lovers
Just between you and me
Ba da da dum
Ba da da da dum
I won’t tell my mother
I won’t tell my brother
They don’t think that we’re of age
No congratulations
Until graduation
Then we’ll turn life’s pa-a-a-g-ge
‘Til we tell the world
Ba da da da da
We will both agree
Ba da da da da
It’s our little secret
Just between you and me
Ba da da dum
Ba da da da dum
I won’t tell my mother
I won’t tell my brother
They don’t think that we’re of age
No congratulations
Until graduation
Then we’ll turn life’s pa-a-a-g-ge
‘Til we tell the world
Ba da da da da
We will both agree
Ba da da da da
It’s our little secret
Just between you and me
Just between you and me
Just between you and me
Just between you and me
Ba da da da da da da da
