Hoo, hoo, mm

Dont mention my heartache

I just hide it away

Dont want to remember what brings me pain

Who does it hurt if Im masquerading

When anybody asks me you know Ill say, yeah

That I love him, he loves me

Were so good together

Ill pretend hes home again

Though hes gone forever

Dont mention my heartache

cause I dont want nobody to know, no, no, no

Just keep it a secret that he let me go

cause I dont want nobody to know

That I go through the motions (motions)

Put a smile on my face, yes, I do

I heard that the weather is changing today, yeah, yeah

And I dont talk about my business to noone

If anybody asks me you know what Ill say, yeah

That I love him; he loves me, were so good together

Ill pretend hes home again, though hes gone forever

Dont mention my heartache

cause I dont want nobody to know, oh, no

Just keep it a secret that he let me go

cause I dont want nobody to know--

Oh, oh, oh, oh, hoo--

That the heartache that Im feeling makes me lonely, oh---

Dont mention my heartache

cause I dont want nobody to know, no, no

Just keep it a secret that he let me go

And I dont want nobody to know, nobody

(cant talk about it)

Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah

(dont want to think about it)

And I dont want nobody, I got a heartache

I dont want nobody, I dont want nobody, I got a heartache

(dont mention my heartache)

I got a heartache, he let me go

Its a sweet face, yes, it is

Dont want nobody, cant stand nobody

(dont mention my heartache)

And I got to keep it a secret

(Im minding my business)

cause my man, cause my man

Aint my man no more

Keeping it a secret (dont mention my heartache)

Keeping it a secret, oh, all to myself, he let me go...
