| Comments: | Bryan
Adams and I wrote "Don't Let Him Know" for Prism, my old band
from the ‘70s. They recorded the song in 1981 for their "Small
Change" album, the first Prism release
to feature Henry Small on vocals. The feel and arrangement for "Don't Let Him Know" was partly inspired by the song "Betty Davis Eyes" by Kim Carnes. |

| Lyrics: |
Now you’re worried ‘cause it's four a.m. And I'm wonderin’ what you gonna say to him And as problems go I'd say we’ve got one here Do you wanna leave or do you wanna get closer? I think you mighta stayed just a little too long Oh yeah Oh don't let him know Don't show him what's in your eyes Don't let him know Does he know about you breakin’ the rules? Does he listen to your lies? What's gonna happen when you run out of alibis? Is it easy when you're walkin’ out? Do you smile as you're leavin’? If I were you I'd be wonderin’ when he’s gonna get even I think you mighta stayed just a little too long - oh yeah Oh don't let him know Don't show him what's in your heart Don't let him know Don't let him know (Solo) Is it easy when you're walkin’ out? Do you smile as you're leavin’? If I were you I'd be wonderin’ when he’s gonna get even I think you mighta stayed just a little too long - oh yeah Oh don't let him know Don't show him what's in your eyes Don't let him know Don't let him know Don't show him what's in your heart Don't let him know Don't let him know Don't let him know |
