Johnnie Taylor
Everything’s Out In the Open
[Intro]
Once upon a time
We were a unit, we were a pair
But it's like it's all over now, darling
It's all out in the open
No more hiding, no more lies
And no more disappointments

[Chorus]
Everything's out in the open, yeah
There is nothing left to hide, hmm

[Verse 1]
I thought we had a Garden of Eden
And we did before he came along
Before the fruits in the midst of his garden
Became the fruits that turned you on

[Pre-Chorus]
Before God, we were joined together
Before a judge, we were taken apart
Before I would deliver the papers
You and him had made a brand new start

[Chorus]
Everything's out in the open, yeah
There is nothing left to hide
All the vows have been broken
But I feel the same way inside
[Verse 2]
You see, just like Adam
You were my Eve
The only girl in the world for me
And just like that old story
Once again, you've been deceived

[Pre-Chorus]
Before God, we were joined together
Before a judge, we were taken apart
Before I would deliver the papers
You and him had made a brand new start

[Chorus]
Everything's out in the open, yeah
And there's nothing left to hide
All the vows have been broken
And I feel the same way inside
Everything's out in the open, open, open
Well, and there's nothing left to hide
But all the vows have been broken
And I feel the same way inside

[Outro]
Everything's out in the open
