lyrics

Put on a smile
Wear it well
We’ll keep it secret, we’ll never tell

Don’t let them see you
Don’t let them know
Don’t make a scene, make a cameo

Forget the wedding
Forget the dress
My daddy doesn’t want to see your mess

Change your colors
Shed your skin
Dress you up just like a mannequin

I can’t be myself
I can’t be myself with you

A whiskey blanket
A coat of beer
That’s what I need to be a man, I fear

Put on my jacket
Put on my tie
You think me up another alibi

This isn’t easy
This isn’t free
Each little fiction takes a toll on me

When do we tell ‘em?
When will it end?
When do I get to be your lady friend?

I can’t be myself
I can’t be myself with you
I can’t love myself
I can’t love myself with you

If this is over
Then let me say
I hope you find yourself a man someday

It’s not about you
You’re not to blame
It’s time for everyone to know my name

I can’t be myself
I can’t be myself with you
I can’t love myself
I can’t love myself with you
