Excuse me, I think I've got a heartache
Oh, but if they heard my heart they'd hear it say
I laugh and joke each time they talk about you
There's an aching deep inside that just won't be denied

Excuse me, I think I've got a heartache
Excuse me, I think I've got a heartache

I guess it's pride that makes me hide my sorrow
Do you know what hurts in all I do and say?
There's an aching deep inside that just won't be denied
But if they told the truth I'd have to say
And I'd better say goodbye before I cry
Excuse me, I think I've got a heartache
Oh, and I'd better say goodbye before I cry
My lips both lie and paint a bright tomorrow
