Hold Back the Tears

You didn't love me from the start

Sometimes life can deceive your heart

The way I love you, darling

Is a crying shame

It happens every time

That I hear your name

I have to hold back the tears

Hold back the tears

Hold back the tears

I have to hold back the tears

Hold back the tears

I have to hold back the tears

No one must know

How much I love you so

Ooh

Ooh

My friends treated me, oh, so nice

Sometimes you can take a fool's advice

Now my heart is all ached with pain

It happens every time

That I hear your name

I have to hold back the tears

Hold back the tears

Hold back the tears

I have to hold back the tears

Hold back the tears

I have to hold back the tears

No one must know

How much I love you so

Ooh

Ooh

Now my friends have

Turned their backs on me

They won't give me any sympathy

I tried to forget you

From week to week

The spirit was willing

But the flesh was weak

I have to hold back the tears

Hold back the tears

Hold back the tears

I have to hold back the tears

Hold back the tears

I have to hold back the tears

No one must know

How much I love you so

Ooh

Ooh

Ooh
