I'm supposed to shake his hand and walk all smiling

Make believe that you don't mean a thing to me

I'm supposed to offer my congratulations but I'm not the man that I supposed to be

I'm supposed to make believe I won't miss you

And forget the times you held me tenderly

I'm supposed to tell the world it never happened

But I'm not the man that I supposed to be

I'd rather stand up and fight for what's mine

And to give you up it's just too much for me

So if I don't shake his hand and come out fighting

That I'm not the man that I supposed to be

[ piano ]

So if I don't shake his hand...
