Hoo, hoo, mm



Don't mention my heartache



I just hide it away



Don't want to remember what brings me pain



Who does it hurt if i'm masquerading



When anybody asks me you know i'll say, yeah



That i love him, he loves me



We're so good together



I'll pretend he's home again



Though he's gone forever



Don't mention my heartache



'cause i don't want nobody to know, no, no, no



Just keep it a secret that he let me go



'cause i don't want nobody to know



That i go through the motions (motions)



Put a smile on my face, yes, i do



I heard that the weather is changing today, yeah, yeah



And i don't talk about my business to noone



If anybody asks me you know what i'll say, yeah



That i love him; he loves me, we're so good together



I'll pretend he's home again, though he's gone forever



Don't mention my heartache



'cause i don't want nobody to know, oh, no



Just keep it a secret that he let me go



'cause i don't want nobody to know--



Oh, oh, oh, oh, hoo--



That the heartache that i'm feeling makes me lonely, oh---



Don't mention my heartache



'cause i don't want nobody to know, no, no



Just keep it a secret that he let me go



And i don't want nobody to know, nobody



(can't talk about it)



Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah



(don't want to think about it)



And i don't want nobody, i got a heartache



I don't want nobody, i don't want nobody, i got a heartache



(don't mention my heartache)



I got a heartache, he let me go



It's a sweet face, yes, it is



Don't want nobody, can't stand nobody



(don't mention my heartache)



And i got to keep it a secret



(i'm minding my business)



'cause my man, 'cause my man



Ain't my man no more



Keeping it a secret (don't mention my heartache)



Keeping it a secret, oh, all to myself, he let me go...
