Here I stand with head in hand
Turn my face to the wall
If she's gone I can't go on
Feeling two foot sma - a - all

Everywhere peo - ple stare
Each and every day
I can see them laugh at me
And I hear them say - ay - ay

Hey, you've got to hide your love away
Hey, you've got to hide your love away

How can I e - ven try
I can never win
Hearing them, see - ing them
In the state I'm i - i in

How could she say to me
"Love will find a way"
Gather 'round, all you clowns
Let me hear you say - ay - ay

Hey, you've got to hide your love away
Hey, you've got to hide your love away
