Here I stand head in hand
Turn my face to the wall
If she's gone I can't go on
Feeling two-foot small

Everywhere people stare
Each and every day
I can see them laugh at me
And I hear them say

Hey, you've got to hide your love away
Hey, you've got to hide your love away

How can I even try
I can never win
Hearing them, seeing them
In the state I'm in

How could she say to me
Love will find a way
Gather round all you clowns
Let me hear you say

Hey, you've got to hide your love away
Hey, you've got to hide your love away

Kris Kristofferson is a country singer and songwriter from Brownsville, TX, best known for the hits he wrote and recorded in the late 1960s.

Many of Kristofferson’s hits are best known through artists who covered them. Me and Bobby McGee was popularized by Janis Joplin, For The Good Times by Ray Price, and Sunday Mornin' Comin' Down by Johnny Cash. His 1971 album The Silver Tongued Devil and I was a commercial success. He released a few more albums in the 1970s, but focused more on acting toward the middle and end of the decade.

In the 1980s, he joined with fellow outlaw country superstars Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson, and Waylon Jennings to form Highwaymen, whose self-titled debut album was a critical and commercial success.
