If You Can't Be True
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
If you can’t be true, baby
Don’t blame me for being blue
Well I know about the things you hide
Only to look good outside
Oh, you don’t know
There is nothing wrong
About feeling sad
Just let it go, girl
Or it will make you mad
Waiting to see you smile
I’ve stayed up all night
But now I just don’t buy it
Well you think you got to be so tough
I suppose it must be kinda rough
Cause when you find yourself in the thick of it
You may find you’ve got a long way
A long way
A long long way
A long way
A long long way...from home
If you can’t be true, baby
Don’t blame me for being blue
Well I know about the things you hide
Only to look good outside
When you want to be bad
When you want to see some drama
Bad is what you get
And does it gets bad, pretty mama
You know I’ve starved
Waiting to see you smile
I’ve stayed up all night
But now I just don’t buy it
Well you think you got to be so tough
I suppose it must be kinda rough
Cause when you find yourself in the thick of it
You may find you’ve got a long way
A long way
A long long way
A long way
A long long way...from home
If you can’t be true, baby
Don’t blame me for being blue
Well I know about the things you hide
Only to look good outside
If you can’t be true, baby
Don’t blame me for being blue
Well I know about the things you hide
I know...you ain’t so pretty inside
Well, I know..oh I know
You ain’t so pretty inside
