I'm Painting the Town Red

I'm Painting the Town Red - Teddy Wilson/Billie Holliday

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
