When I’m Alone I Cry Lyrics by Marvin Gaye

When I’m Alone I Cry

0

[Verse 1]
Laughing loud out with the crowd
Is just one way I try
To hide my blues
But in my room
When I'm alone I cry

[Verse 2]
I confess I do my best
To show them I'm the guy
I weigh a smile
But only while
When I'm alone I cry

[Verse 3]
Pretending I don't miss her
It's all, it's all that's left to do
Somehow I'm sure she'll come back no more
The rest is up to you dear
Smile my heart and play the part
Though deep inside we know
It's all a game but just the same
The truth must never show
On you I rely my heart you know why
When I'm alone I, I cry
