i'm painting the town red

Singer:holiday, billie

a smile on my face

a song on my lips

pretending is all i do

i'm painting the town red

to hide a heart that's blue

i'm gay with the crowd

i play with the crowd

but oh

if they only knew

i'm painting the town red

to hide a heart that's blue

must i go on carrin' on?

my merry song is just pretend

loving you so

wanting you so

where will it end

how will it end?

a smile on my face

a song on my lips

but never forgetting you

i'm painting the town red

to hide a heart that's blue
