A smile on my face A song on my lips Pretending is all I do I'm painting the town red To hide a heart that's blue I'm gay with the crowd I play with the crowd But oh, if they only knew I'm painting the town red To hide a heart that's blue
Must I go on carrin' on? My merry song is just pretend Loving you so, wanting you so Where will it end, how will it end? A smile on my face A song on my lips But never forgetting you I'm painting the town red To hide a heart that's blue
