[Verse 1: Terry Kath]
I've got a smile
That I put on
When I'm not at home
When I'm not alone
But it's so hard
To make that smile
Because I know I'll be at home
And alone in a while
And if I look in a mirror
I see my eyes start to tear
I can't help but cry
Since you said goodbye
I've got to hide
What I'm feeling inside
I can't let them see
What you're doing to me

[Chorus: Terry Kath]
So that's what I'll do
I won't let them see through
Won't let them know
That you could hurt me so
Yeah, yeah, yeah

[Verse 2: Terry Kath]
I've got a laugh
That I put on
When I'm not at home
When I'm not alone
And it's so hard
To fake that laugh
When my insides are crying
And my heart's torn in half
And all the music I hear
And things I valued so dear
Make me feel so blue
All remind me of you
What can I do?
Our love is through
My purpose is gone
And I've got to live on
[Chorus: Terry Kath]
Oh, guess that's what I'll do
I won't let them see through
I won't let them know
That you could hurt me so
Yeah, yeah, yeah

[Outro: Terry Kath]
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I said it's gone, baby
Now, what can I do?
Now that our love is through
My purpose is gone
Yet, I've got to head on
Oh, that's what I'll do
I won't let them see through
I won't let them know
That you could hurt me so
The people won't say
I bet you'll do it again
And if you come back to me, darlin'
Said "I'll be your friend"
That they won't know
How you hurt me so
And when you come back to me, darlin'
I bet also head low
Head low, yeah!
