Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
They just don't know how lost I feel without you My teardrops never see the light of day I laugh and joke each time they talk about you But if they heard my heart they'd hear it say Excuse me, I think I've got a heartache There's an aching deep inside and it just won't be denied Excuse me, I think I've got a heartache And I'd better say goodbye before I cry I guess it's pride that makes me hide my sorrow I live a lie in all I do and say My lips may lie and paint a bright tomorrow But if I told the truth I'd have to say Excuse me, I think I've got a heartache There's an aching deep inside and it just won't be denied Excuse me, I think I've got a heartache And I'd better say goodbye before I cry
