I saw the attic in the alley
I was just fingers and my feet
She was political politicians pretending they can't see
With peoples and their fish
With power in their eyes
Well, we can't deny baby, you and I

I wrote two songs before lunch
But I didn't take your call
Your hand was reaching up to me but I didn't see it go

But you'll never see me cry
Baby, even though I wanted to
You won't never see me cry
I'll keep those tears well hidden from
You, you, you, you, you, you 
You, you, you, you, you, you 
Oh, you, you, you, you, you

We couldn't get along
No, couldn't make it work
It wasn't through a lack of love and that's what made me hurt
Girl, it seems like yesterday
You were in my arms
Flowers all around me and petals in my palm

Thought we'd settle down
Getting serious with our love
That's when I picked up the phone and you said it was done

But you'll never see me cry
Baby, even though I wanted to
You won't never see me cry
I keep those tears well hidden from
You, you, you, you, you, you 
From you, you, you, you, you, you 

I keep those tears well hidden from
You, you, you, you, you, you
But you'll never see me cry, baby
Even though I did
No, you'll never see me cry
I keep those tears well hidden from
You, you, you, you, you, you 
From you, you, you, you, you, you
