Please help translate a song

There's this song Looking For The Summer by Chris Rea that I would like to translate to my language.

I'm not at all sure what the following passage means:

This ain't no game of kiss and tell
The implications how you know so well

Somebody help!

Well ****! In fact the whole song is so difficult to make a nice translation of although I can see it's so very beautiful. If anybody made a little effort and just said all these words in a simple manner I would be very grateful.

Translations of simple prose are very difficult.
Translations of poetry and songs are much more difficult.
It is probably best to leave these tasks to those who have complete mastery of both languages.

"kiss and tell" is an idiom that refers to people who tell others the intimate details of their personal lives which should be kept private.

"the implications how you know"
