Mississippi Delta City Blues

I've got a smile

That i put on

When i'm not at home

When i'm not alone



But it is so hard

To make that smile

'cause 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

Whhat i'm feelin' inside

Can't let them see

How you're hurtin' me



So i guess that's what i'll do

Won't let them see through

Won't let them know

That you could hurt me so



I've got a laugh

That i put on

When i'm not at home

When i'm not alone



But it is so hard

To fake that laugh

When my insides are cryin'

And my heart's torn in half

And all the music i hear

And things i valued so dear

Make me feel so blue

They all remind me of you



(now) what can i do

(now) that our love is through

And my purpose is gone

Still i got to live on

I 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
