Mississippi Delta City Blues

I've got a smile that I put on
When I'm not at home, when I'm not alone

And 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
I can't let them see
What you're doing to me

So 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

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
I guess 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, all remind me of you

What can I do?
Our love is through
My purpose is gone
And I've gotta live on

Oh, 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, yeah
I said it's gone, baby

Now, what can I do?
Now that our love is through
My purpose is gone
Yet, I've gotta head on

Oh, 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
The people won't say, I bet you'll do it again
And if you come back to me, darlin'
Said I'll be your friend

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

Won't you come home to me, yeah?
I need you, yeah
Won't you come home to me, yeah?
I need you
I said, won't you come home to me, baby?
I love you, yeah
Won't you come home to me, baby?
