Billie Holiday - I'm Painting The Town Red Lyrics
Artist: Billie Holiday
Album: The Quintessential - Volume 1
Genre: Jazz
- Songwriters: Charles Newman, Sam Stept, Charles Tobias
A smile on my face
A song on my lips
Pretending is all I do
I'm paintin' the town red
To hide a heart that's blue
I'm gay with the crowd
I play with the crowd
But oh, if they only knew
I'm paintin' the town red
To hide a heart that's blue
Must I go on, carrin' on?
My merry song is just pretend
Loving you so, wanting you so
Where will it end, how will it end?
A smile on my face
A song on my lips
But never forgetting you
I'm paintin' the town red
To hide a heart that's blue
