Billie Holiday
"I'm Painting the Town Red"

A smile on my face
A song on my lips
Pretending is all I do
IпїЅm painting the town red
To hide a heart thatпїЅs blue

IпїЅm gay with the crowd
I play with the crowd
But oh, if they only knew
IпїЅm painting the town red
To hide a heart thatпїЅs blue
Must I go on carrying on

My merry song is just pretend
Loving you so, wanting you so
Where will it end, how will it end

A smile on my face
A song on my lips
But never forgetting you
IпїЅm painting the town red
To hide a heart thatпїЅs blue
