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
|
|

I'M PAINTING THE TOWN RED
