Lyrics by: Charles Tobias & Charles Newman & Sam H. Stept

A smile on my face

A song on my lips

Pretending is all I do

Im painting the town red

To hide a heart thats blue

Im gay with the crowd

I play with the crowd

But oh, if they only knew

Im painting the town red

To hide a heart thats 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

Im painting the town red

To hide a heart thats blue
