Tampa Red A Lie In My Heart
I may be wrong to say, I love you
I'll put your day in the dark
But it's better to say, I love you
Than to live with a lie in my heart
And though I know you didn't want me
I played a fool at the start
But it's better to say, I love you
Than to live with a lie in my heart
Though I may pretend I'm gay
And hide away in a magic house of my own
Hopin' that you may someday return and say
'I'm sorry I left you alone, dear'
I may be wrong to say, I miss you
Or watch your view from afar
But it's better to say, I love you
Than to live with a lie in my heart
Yas, swing cat
Uh-huh, yeah
Tickle that thing, boy
Oh, ain't that pretty?
Yowsir
I hear ya, Mr. Sax Man
Uh-huh, oh yeah
Oh, yeah
I hear ya, Mr. Coronet Man
Though I may pretend I'm gay
And hide away in a magic house of my own
Hopin' that you may someday return and say
I'm sorry I left you alone, dear
I may be wrong to say, I miss you
Or watch your view from afar
But it's better to say, I love you
Than to live with a lie in my heart
