Pretty Little Liars Theme Song Lyrics
Lyrics: “Secret”
Got a secret
Can you keep it?
Swear this one you’ll save
Better lock it, in your pocket
Taking this one to the grave
If I show you then I know you
Won’t tell what I said
‘Cause two can keep a secret
If one of them is dead?
Why do you smile?
Like you have told a secret
Now you’re telling lies
‘Cause you’re the one to keep it
But no one keeps a secret
No one keeps a secret
Why when we do our darkest deeds
Do we tell?
They burn in our brains
Become a living hell
‘Cause everyone tells
Everyone tells?
Got a secret
Can you keep it?
Swear this one you’ll save
Better lock it, in your pocket
Taking this one to the grave
If I show you then I know you
Won’t tell what I said
‘Cause two can keep a secret
If one of the m is dead?
Look into my eyes
Now you’re getting sleepy
Are you hypnotized?
By secrets that you’re keeping?
I know what you’re keeping
I know what you’re keeping
Got a secret
Can you keep it?
Swear this one you’ll save
Better lock it, in your pocket
Taking this one to the grave
If I show you then I know you
Won’t tell what I said
‘Cause two can keep a secret
If one of them is dead?
Alison?
Yes, Katherine.
I have something I want to tell you, but
You have to promise to never tell anyone.
I promise
Do you swear on your life?
I swear on my life
You swore you’d never tell?
You swore you’d never tell?
You swore you’d never tell?
You swore you’d never tell?
[Chorus x3]
Got a secret
Can you keep it?
Swear this one you’ll save
Better lock it, in your pocket
Taking this one to the grave
If I show you then I know you
Won’t tell what I said
‘Cause two can keep a secret
If one of them is dead?
Yes two can keep a secret
If one of us is dead.

I love this show. I always wondered what the lyrics said.
I have never heard of this song. I know many people that need to listen to the words to this song! LOL
My daughter watches this show religiously! She is always humming the song LOL.
Very interesting theme/style for this program. I haven’t seen it as of yet.
This sounds like a good show and I like the lyrics. I will have to check the show out.
My daughter is addicted to this show. I will have to show her this.
I had no idea it had been used in other things! I have to admit I love Dexter as well so that one surprised. me.
Wow funny coincidence for me, as I always liked the show and wondered about the song.
Thank you also for the YouTube link!
That’s very catchy! I haven’t seen this show yet but it sounds like there is plenty of gossip and intrigue.
I am going to have to listen to this song. I am thinking there may be a secret or two in there.
I keep reading such great reviews about this show but I have yet to watch it for myself. I’m going to make it my business to watch.
I have never watched a single episode of the show, although a lot of people give positive reviews of it. The song, I haven’t heard yet or maybe I did, I just don’t remember. Funny how those lyrics could apply to tattle-tales out there.
I love PLL. The song gets stuck in my head everytime I hear it. My boys think its super creepy!
As soon as I catch up on my dvr shows, I am going to start watching this one. I hear such good things about it!
Never saw the show but just heard about it. Nice theme song though, maybe I’ll check it out
My Daughter and i love this show. This song gets stuck in your head every time you watch the show.
This is a perfect theme song for this show. I have never heard the whole song before. Now i want to watch few episodes.
I have never seen this show. But I have seen a lot of people talking about it lately.
I watch a couple of these shows and it looks pretty good. Now I know the wrds to the theme song. ll
I don’t watch Pretty Little Liars. I’d probably be the worst one to guess if there’s any secrets in the lyrics 😛
