People talking, think I'm all right
Think I'm doin' fine
Goin' through the motions of my life
Go to work now every mornin'
Yeah I play the part
And hide away the contents of my solemn heart
But when the sun goes down
And the moon is high
I can't control the flood of all these tears inside
And if they only knew
They'd be so surprised
I'm just a good pretender in a great disguise
Keep 'em guessin', keep 'em laughin'
Build that uithangbord up high
As long as they don't see the other side
You've really done it
Done a number, a number on my soul
But I'll be damned if I'll ever let u know
But when the sun goes down
And the moon is high
There's no way to hide the truth from me, myself, and I
Yeah, I wear it well
Though it ain't my size
I'm just a good pretender in a great disguise
I'm not one to toon emotion
Like some fools I see
I won't wear my hart-, hart out on my sleeve
I don't miss you
Not for a moment
I'm gonna be okay
Words of wisdom spoken
door the light of day
But when the sun goes down
And the moon is high
Your memory pulls me under like a strong riptide
I'm still in love with you
It's all smoke and lights
I'm just a good pretender in a great disguise
I'm just a good pretender in a great disguise
Think I'm doin' fine
Goin' through the motions of my life
Go to work now every mornin'
Yeah I play the part
And hide away the contents of my solemn heart
But when the sun goes down
And the moon is high
I can't control the flood of all these tears inside

How can u just stand there
And act like nothing's wrong
u haven't even kissed me
of held me for so long
There's no lipstick on your collar
There's no perfume on your clothes
There's no number on a matchbook
But a woman always knows
A woman knows without asking
A woman knows what's left unsaid
A woman knows when a man's been sleeping
In someone else's bed
I don't have all the answers
And u haven't left a clue
But in my hart-, hart there's just no question
You've found somebody new
A woman knows without asking
A woman knows what's left unsaid
A woman knows when a man's been sleeping
In someone else's bed
When u refuse to talk about it
In your silence my suspicion grows
u don't have to paint a picture
Somehow a woman knows
u don't have to paint a picture
Somehow a woman knows
And act like nothing's wrong
u haven't even kissed me
of held me for so long
There's no lipstick on your collar
There's no perfume on your clothes
There's no number on a matchbook
But a woman always knows
A woman knows without asking
A woman knows what's left unsaid
A woman knows when a man's been sleeping
In someone else's bed
I don't have all the answers
And u haven't left a clue
But in my hart-, hart there's just no question
You've found somebody new
A woman knows without asking
A woman knows what's left unsaid
A woman knows when a man's been sleeping
In someone else's bed
When u refuse to talk about it
In your silence my suspicion grows
u don't have to paint a picture
Somehow a woman knows
u don't have to paint a picture
Somehow a woman knows
