"Mississippi Delta City Blues" lyrics

I've got a smile on
That I put on
When I'm not at home
When I'm not alone
But it's so hard
To make that smile
Because I know I'll be at home
And alone in a while
And if I look in a mirror
I see my eyes start to tear
I can't help but cry
Since you said goodbye
I've got to hide
What I'm feeling inside
Can't let them see
What you meant to me

So I guess that's what I'll do
Won't let them see through
Won't let them know
That you could hurt me so
Yeah, yeah

I've got a laugh
That I put on
When I'm not at home
When I'm not alone
And it's so hard
To fake that laugh
When my insides are crying
And my heart's torn in half
And all the music I hear
And things I valued so dear
Make me feel so blue
They all remind me of you
What can I do?
Our love is through
And my purpose is gone
Still I got to live on

I guess that's what I'll do
I won't let them see through
I won't let them know
That you could hurt me so
Yeah, yeah

Yeah yeah yeah
Said it's gone, baby
What can I do?
Our love is through
And my purpose is gone
Yeah, it's gone, yeah gone
I guess that's what I'll do
I won't let them see through
I won't let them know
That you could hurt me so
No one's safe
I bet you'll do it again
You come back to me, darlin'
Said, "I'll be your fan."
That they won't know
How you hurt me so
And when you come back to me, darlin'
I bet also head low
Head low, yeah!
