Chicago - Mississippi Delta City Blues Lyrics

I've got a smile that I put on
When I'm not at home, when I'm not alone
But it is so hard to make that smile
'Cause 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 feelin' inside
I can't let them see
What your doing 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, yeah

I've got a laugh that I put on
When I'm not at home, when I'm not alone
But it is so hard to fake that laugh
When my insides are cryin' 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
My purpose is gone
And 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
So you got baby

Now what can I do that our love is through
My purpose is gone
Yet I got to hang 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

People won't say that you do it again
If you come back to million dollar
Then I'll be your fan
They won't know how you hurt me so
When you come back to million dollar
I bet you'll also head low, low, yeah

Won't you come home to me
I need you, yeah
Won't you come home to me
I need you
I said won't you come home to me, babe
I need you, yeah
