Here I stand, head in hand,
turn my face to the wall.
If she's gone, I can't go on,
feeling two foot small.

Ev'rywhere people stare,
each and ev'ryday.
I can see them laugh at me,
and I hear them say:

Hey! You've got to hide your love away.
Hey! You've got to hide your love away.

How can I even try?
I can never win.
Hearing them, seeing them,
In the state I'm in.

How could she say to me
Love will find a way?
Gather 'round all you clowns,
Let me hear you say:

Hey! You've got to hide your love away.
Hey! You've got to hide your love away.
