Black Oak Arkansas – Don't Let It Show lyrics

"No matter what they do to you, don't let 'em have the pleasure of gettin' to ya at all."

If it's getting harder to face every day,
Don't let it show,
Don't let it show,

If it's getting harder to take what they say,
Just let it go,
Just let it go,

And if it hurts when they mention my name,
Say you don't know me,
And if it hurts when they say I'm to blame,
I'm always to blame,
Ah, ah,

Even if it's taking the easy way out,
Keep it inside of you, don't give in,
Don't tell them anything,
Don't let it, don't let it show,

Even though you know it's the wrong thing to say,
Say you don't care,
Say you don't care,

Even though you want to believe there's a way,
I won't be there, no,
I won't be there,

And if you smile when they mention my name,
They'll never know you,
And if you laugh when they say I'm to blame,
They'll never own you,
Ah, ah,

Even though you feel you've got nothing to hide,
Keep it inside of you, don't give in,
Don't tell them anything,
Don't let it, no, don't let it hurt,
Don't let it show
