If you can't be true

If you can’t be true, baby
Don’t blame me for being blue
Well I know about the things you hide
Only to look good outside

Oh, you don’t know
There is nothing wrong
About feeling sad
Just let it go, girl
Or it will make you mad

Waiting to see you smile
I’ve stayed up all night
But now I just don’t buy it
Well you think you got to be so tough
I suppose it must be kinda rough
Cause when you find yourself in the thick of it
You may find you’ve got a long way
A long way
A long long way
A long way
A long long way...from home

If you can’t be true, baby
Don’t blame me for being blue
Well I know about the things you hide
Only to look good outside

When you want to be bad
When you want to see some drama
Bad is what you get
And does it gets bad, pretty mama

You know I’ve starved
Waiting to see you smile
I’ve stayed up all night
But now I just don’t buy it

Well you think you got to be so tough
I suppose it must be kinda rough
Cause when you find yourself in the thick of it
You may find you’ve got a long way
A long way
A long long way
A long way
A long long way...from home

If you can’t be true, baby
Don’t blame me for being blue
Well I know about the things you hide
Only to look good outside
If you can’t be true, baby
Don’t blame me for being blue
Well I know about the things you hide
I know...you ain’t so pretty inside

Well, I know..oh I know
You ain’t so pretty inside
