Chicago – Mississippi Delta City Blues Lyrics  Share

From Chicago's album: Chicago XI

(Words and music by Terry Kath)

I^,ve got a smile
That I put on
When I^,m not at home
When I^,m not alone.
But it is so hard
To make that smile
^,Cause I know I^,ll be at home
And alone in a while
And if I look in a mirror
I see my eyes start to tear
I can^,t help but cry
Since you said goodbye
I^,ve got to hide
What I^,m feelin^, inside
Can^,t let them see
How you^,re hurtin^, me.
So I guess that^,s what I^,ll do
Won^,t let them see through
Won^,t let them know
That you could hurt me so.

I^,ve got a laugh
That I put on
When I^,m not at home
When I^,m not alone.
But it is so hard
To fake that laugh
When my insides are cryin^,
And my heart^,s torn in half
And all the music I hear
And things I valued so dear
Make me feel so blue
They all remind me of you.
(Now) What can I do
(Now) That our love is through
And my purpose is gone
Still I got to live on.
I guess that^,s what I^,ll do
I won^,t let them see through
I won^,t let them know
That you could hurt me so.
