Morticia:
SECRETS ARE THE ENEMIES OF PASSION
SPEAKING TRUE WILL GET
YOU THROUGH THE DAY
TRUTH IS NOT A THING
THAT ONE SHOULD RATION
BUT I THINK YOU THINK OF IT THAT WAY

NEVER KEEP A SIN INSIDE THE CLOSET
ALWAYS GIVE THE FACTS A FIGHTING CHANCE
EV’RY TIME YOU DO, IT'S A DEPOSIT
IN THE LONG-TERM LIFE OF YOUR ROMANCE

KEEP NO SECRETS
IF YOU WANT HIM TO REMAIN YOUR LOVER
SHARE ALL SECRETS
THERE'S A WORLD OF THINGS
YOU MIGHT DISCOVER
TRUTH IS BEAUTY
HE SHOULD ALWAYS KNOW
EXACTLY WHO YOU ARE
BARE YOUR SECRETS
AND YOUR MARRIAGE'LL BE HEALTHIER BY FAR

GOMEZ ADORES ME
NEVER IGNORES ME
ALWAYS HAS PUT ME FIRST
AND, ALICE, IF HE SHOULD TRY ONCE
TELLING A LIE ONCE
I'D THROW HIM OUT HEAD FIRST
KNEELING HE'D PLEAD I RECONCIDER
REELING, HE'D QUICKLY START TO DROWN
BEGGING ME FOR A LENIENCE
BUT AT MY FIRST CONVENIENCE
I'D PUT HIM ON THE FIRST BUS OUT OF TOWN

Alice:
IS GOMEZ TRULY DEVOTED
NEVER MISQUOTED
ALWAYS THE PARAGON

Morticia(spoken):
Without a doubt

Alice:
AND IF HE TOLD YOU A LIE
YOU'D WHISPER GOODBYE
THEN LEAVE HIM TO CARRY ON

Morticia(spoken):
That's it exactly

Alice:
IS THERE NO ROOM FOR SOME DISCUSSION

Morticia(spoken):
If Gomez lied?
Alice:
IS THERE NO CHANCE YOU MIGHT FORGIVE?

Morticia:
A LIE'S A LIE AND LIES CAN KILL
AND LIFE CAN QUICKLY GO DOWNHILL
SHE KEPT A SECRET AND SHE
WOUND UP ON THE GUILLOTINE

Alice:
NOW I SEE WHAT YOU MEAN...

Morticia:
SHE KEPT A SECRET AND
THEY SHOT HER WITH AN M16

Alice:
THAT'S NOT A PRETTY SCENE

Morticia:
SHE KEPT A SECRET AND SHE WOUND
UP ON THE COVER OF A MAGAZINE

Morticia(spoken):
She’s quite the Philistine
Alice(spoken):
What's that one?

Morticia(spoken):
The dance routine

Morticia/Female Ensemble:
KEEP NO SECRETS

WELCOME HONESTY WITH

Morticia/Female Ensemble:
NO RESISTANCE
THEN YOUR MARRIAGE

Morticia:

Morticia/Female Ensemble:
COEXISTENCE

Morticia:
LIES AND SECRETS

Morticia/Female Ensemble:
THEY'RE THE SINS THAT KEEP
A HUSBAND FROM A WIFE

Morticia:
GOMEZ LOVES ME
HE WOULD NEVER KEEP A SECRET IN HIS LIFE

Morticia/Female Ensemble:
NEVER KEEP A SECRET
NOT ONE SECRET IN HIS LIFE
