What Will I Tell My Heart?

I'll try to explain to friends, dear

The reason we two are apart

I know what to tell our friends, dear

But what will I tell my heart?

It's easy to say to strangers

That we played a game from the start

It's easy to lie to stranger

But what will I tell my heart?

When I smile to hide all the tears inside, what an ache it will bring

Then I'll wander home to a telephone that forgot how to ring

I could say you'll soon be back, dear

To fool the whole town may be smart

I'll tell them you'll soon be back, dear

But what will I tell my heart?

I'll try to explain to friends, dear

The reason we two are apart

I know what to tell our friends, dear

But what will I tell my heart?

Oh-oh-oh-oh, baby, what will I tell my heart?
