You Don't Have To Act Tha Lyrics - April Wine

Written by: myles goodwyn 

You act like someone else and I don't know why 

You try to pretend you're hurt but you won't cry 

And I don't believe the things that you told me 

I know that you only do it 'cos you're lonely 

And all your friends have lost their way 

And you don't know who you can turn to 

It's been such a long, long way girl 

And I know what you've been through 

So you don't have to act that way, tonite 

You don't have to act that way tonite 

People misunderstand you when it's not right 

I'm gonna hold your hand and make you feel nice 

I'm gonna show you all that love can be 

I'll always be around when you need me 

Look into my eyes and smile for me 

I'll hold you in my arms you'll see 

All it takes is one on one and that can be 

Enough for some 

So you don't have to act that way tonite 

You don't have to act that way tonite 

So you don't have to act that way tonite 

You don't have to act that way tonite 

It's alright 

It's alright 

You don't have to say you're sorry 

I'd never turn your words around 

Be yourself now don't be lonely 

You know I'd never let you down 

Tell me what you've been goin' thru 

I'm trying to understand and get to know you 

You can believe the things that I'm sayin' 

Put all your trust in me and what you're feelin' 

All your friends have lost their way 

And you don't know who you can turn to 

It's seems such a long long way 

And I know what you been through 

So you don't have to act that way tonite 

You don't have to act that way tonite 

You don't have to act that way tonite 

It's alright 

It's alright 

It's alright
