To Tell You the Truth - Wanda Jackson

I have learned to pretend that I’m happy

I can act like I’m doing well

But to tell you the truth I’ve been lonely

So lonely though no one can tell

When I’m asked if I ever miss you

I can smile and say «not anymore»

But to tell you the truth I still miss you

Much more than ever before

I’ve been too proud to say «forgive me»

And I’ve kept all the words inside

And I’ve lost the right to love you

Yes I pay for my foolish pride

So I’ll hold back the tears when I see you

I’ll act like you’re only a friend

But to tell you the truth I still love you

And I wish you were mine again

Yes to tell you the truth I still love you

And I wish you were mine again
