What I Go Thru (to Keep Holding On To You) Lyrics - Skeeter Davis

What I go thru to keep holding on to you 

I pick your dirty shirt up off the floor 

And wash out all the lipstick stains once more 

Pretend I don't know about those bad things you do 

What I go thru to keep holding on to you 

Pretend that I'm asleep when you come in 

So I won't have to ask you where you've been 

Cause I'm afraid you'd tell me what I didn't want is true 

What I go thru to keep holding on to you 

Everybody wonders why I make it and even you must wonder why I take it 

But everytime you step across that line 

My crazy heart knows maybe it's the last time 

I've learned to hide my hurt behind a smile 

And hoped that you'll be true for just a while 

But all the time I know you'll do just what you want to do 

What I go thru to keep holding on to you 

What I go thru to keep holding on to you
