[Verse 1]

All men have secrets and here is mine

So let it be known

For we have been through hell and high tide

I think I can rely on you

And yet you start to recoil

Heavy words are so lightly thrown

But still I'd leap in front

Of a flying bullet for you


[Chorus]

So, what difference does it make?

So, what difference does it make?

It makes none, but now you have gone

And you must be looking very old tonight


[Verse 2]

The devil will find work

For idle hands to do

I stole and I lied, and why?

Because you asked me to

But now you make me feel so ashamed

Because I've only got two hands

But I'm still fond of you

Oh-oh-oh


[Chorus]

So, what difference does it make?

Oh, what difference does it make?

Oh, it makes none, but now you have gone

And your prejudice won't keep you warm tonight


[Verse 3]

Oh, the devil will find work

For idle hands to do

I stole, and then I lied

Just because you asked me to

But now you know the truth about me

You won't see me anymore

Well, I'm still fond of you

Oh-oh-oh


[Chorus]

But no more apologies

No more, no more apologies

Oh, I'm too tired, I'm so sick and tired

And I'm feeling very sick and ill today


[Outro]

But I'm still fond of you

Oh-oh-oh

Oh, my sacred one

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

Oh-oh
