Analysis of Tabu
She whispers in her ear
The doctor said he is in pain
Can't be, medicine in vain
She whispers in her ear
The doctor said he is really sick
Must be wrong, must be a trick
She whispers in her ear
The doctor said he is gonna die
Can't be true, must be a lie
She whispers in her ear
The doctor said we must be prepared
Don't tell the others, don't you dare
