Here I stand with head in hand,
Turn my face to the wall.
If she’s gone I can’t go on,
feeling two-foot small
Everywhere people stare
each and every day.
I can see them laugh at me
And I hear them say.
Hey you’ve got to hide your love away
Hey you’ve got to hide your love away
How can I even try,
I can never win.
Hearing them, seeing them,
In the state I’m in
How could she say to me
Love will find a way.
Gather around all you clowns,
Let me hear you say
Hey you’ve got to hide your love away
Hey you’ve got to hide your love away
