I'll try to explain to friends dear
The reason we two are apart
I know what to tell our friends, dear
But what can I tell my heart
It's easy to say to strangers
That we played the game from the start
It's easy to lie to stranger
But why tell a lie to your heart
When I smile to hide all the tears inside
What an ache it will bring
Then I'll wonder home to a telephone
That forgot how to ring
I could say you'll soon be back, dear
To fool the whole town may be smart
I'll tell them you'll soon be back, dear
But what can I tell my heart
When I smile to hide all the tears inside
What an ache it will bring
Then I'll wonder home to a telephone
That forgot how to ring
I could say you'll soon be back, dear
To fool the whole town may be smart
Oh I say them you'll soon be back, dear
Ho but what can I tell my heart ho ooh
Oh, what will I tell my heart yea
(Yea right)
