Behind A Painted Smile Lyrics - The Isley Brothers

Whenever you're near I hide my tears 

Behind a painted smile 

You can't imagine the tears and sorrow 

Behind a painted smile 

My life's a masquerade 

A world of let's pretend, dear 

Since you took your love 

Pretending never ends, dear 

But I can't let you know 

That I still need you so, no 

(Darling I hide the tears that I cry) 

Whenever you're near I hide my tears 

Behind a painted smile 

You can't imagine the tears and sorrow 

Behind a painted smile

I can't let you see 

All the tears I'm crying 

You would pity me -- 

That would be like dying 

If I can't have your love 

I don't need your sympathy 

(Darling I hide the tears that I cry) 

Whenever you're near I hide my tears 

Behind a painted smile 

You can't imagine the tears and sorrow 

Behind a painted smile 

My life is a masquerade 

Since you took your love away
