I Keep It Hid

(album: Turn Around, Look At Me - 1968)

Deep down inside
I know I still love her
But she'll never know
Cause I'll never tell
Or confide that I'm thinking of her
And wishing her well
But I can't walk up to her and say

Baby, what you been doing
I still love you like I did
You know, nothing's really changed
But being the way I am
I keep it hid

Lately I've seen
A look in her eyes
That just breaks my heart
She needs me so
To lean on at this moment
Oh why can't I go up to that old love of mine and say

Baby, what you been doing
I still love you like I did
You know, nothing's really changed
But being the way I am
I keep it hid

Maybe someday I'll throw off my foolish pride
This ain't no good
Watching her die this way
Since she's the same girl inside
Oh why can't I go up to that old girl of mine and say

Baby, what you been doing
I still love you like I did
You know, nothing's really changed
But being the way I am
I keep it hid

Baby, what you been doing
I still love you like I did
You know, nothing's really changed
But being the way I am
I keep it hid
