Here i stand with head in hand
turn my face to the wall
if she's gone, i can't go on
feeling 2 foot tall

everywhere people stare
each and every day
i can hear them laugh at me
and i can hear them say

hey, you've gotta hide your love away
hey, you've gotta hide your love away

how can i even try
i can never win
seeing them and hearing them
in the state i'm in.

how could she say to me
'love will find a way'?
gather round all you clowns
and let me hear you say

hey, you've gotta hide your love away
hey, you've gotta hide your love away
