Behind A Painted Smile - The Isley Brothers

Lyrics by：Ivy Joe Hunter/Beatrice Verdi

Composed by：Ivy Joe Hunter/Beatrice Verdi

Whenever you're near I hide my tears

Behind a painted smile

You can't imagine the tears and sorrow

Behind a painted smile

My life's a masquerade

A world of let's pretend yeah

Since you took your love

Pretending never ends yeah

But I can't let you know

That I still need you so no

No need to hide choose that

Whenever you're near I hide my tears

Behind a painted smile

You can't imagine the tears and sorrow

Behind a painted smile

Ooh I can't let you see can't let you see

All the tears I'm crying

You would pity me you pity me

That would be like dying

If I can't have your love

I don't need your sympathy

No need to hide choose that

Whenever you're near I hide my tears

Behind a painted smile

You can't imagine the tears and sorrow

Behind a painted smile

My life is a masquerade

Since you took your love away

Whenever you're near I hide my tears

I just can't let you see

How much you hurting me

Whenever you're near I hide my tears

Behind a painted smile
