I'd Like to Hide It

He's gentle, and he's such a handsome thing

When I see John, reserve goes on the wing

Though I know I mayn't

I just want to faint

I try to taunt, but only want to cling

I'd like to hide it

I'd like to hide it

I'd like to smother down the flame inside

But though I've tried it

I can't abide it

My heart keeps beating just the same inside

It goes a-pitter-patter-patter

And though I want to tell him, "No"

My heart has cried it

So I confide it

I'd like to hide it

But I love him so

I'd like to hide it

I'd like to hide it

I'd like to smother down the flame inside

But though I've tried it

I can't abide it

My heart keeps beating just the same inside

It goes a-pitter-patter-patter

And though I want to tell him, "No"

My heart has cried it

So I confide it

I'd like to hide it

But I love him so

With every thrill I feel my will resign

To my chagrin my blood turns into wine

When I hear him speak

I get very weak

I try to frown as chills run down my spine

I'd like to hide it

I'd like to hide it

I'd like to smother down the flame inside

But though I've tried it

I can't abide it

My heart keeps beating just the same inside

It goes a-pitter-patter-patter

And though I want to tell him, "No"

My heart has cried it

So I confide it

I'd like to hide it

But I love him so

I'd like to hide it

I'd like to hide it

I'd like to smother down the flame inside

But though I've tried it

I can't abide it

My heart keeps beating just the same inside

It goes a-pitter-patter-patter

And though I want to tell him, "No"

My heart has cried it

So I confide it

I'd like to hide it

But I love him so!
