You've Got To Hide Your Love Away

Here I stand head in hand
Turn my face to the wall
If she's gone, I can't go on
Feeling two feet small
Everywhere people stare
Each and every day
I can see them laugh at me
And I hear them say

Hey, you've got to hide your love away
Hey, you've got to hide your love away

How can I even try?
I can never win
Hearing them, seeing her
In the state I'm in
How could she say to me
"Love will find a way?"
Gather round, all you clowns
Let me hear you say

Hey, you've got to hide your love away
Hey, you've got to hide your love away
