Lyrics

Hoo, hoo, mm

Don't mention my heartache

I just hide it away

Don't want to remember

What brings me pain

Who does it hurt if I'm masquerading

When anybody asks me

You know I'll say

That I love him, he loves me

We're so good together

I'll pretend he's home again

Though he's gone forever

Don't mention my heartache

'Cause I don't want nobody to know

No, no, no

Just keep it a secret that he let me go

'Cause I don't want nobody to know

That I go through the motions

Put a smile on my face, yes, I do

I heard that the weather

Is changing today, yeah, yeah

And I don't talk about my business to no one

If anybody asks me

You know what I'll say

That I love him, he loves me

We're so good together

I'll pretend he's home again

Though he's gone forever

Don't mention my heartache

'Cause I don't want nobody to know, oh, no

Just keep it a secret that he let me go, oh...

'Cause I don't want nobody to know

Oh, oh, oh, oh...

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh...

That the heartache

That I'm feeling makes me lonely, oh...

Don't mention my heartache

'Cause I don't want nobody to know, no, no

Just keep it a secret that he let me go

And I don't want nobody to know

Nobody

(Can't talk about it)

Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, no

(Don't want to think about it)

And I don't want nobody

(I got a heartache)

I don't want nobody

I don't want nobody

(I got a heartache)

(Don't mention my heartache)

I got a heartache, he let me go

It's a sweet face, yes, it is

Don't want nobody

(Don't mention my heartache)

Can't stand nobody

And I got to keep it a secret

(I'm minding my business)

'Cause my man, 'cause my man

Ain't my man no more

Keeping it a secret

(Don't mention my heartache)

Keeping it a secret

Oh, all to myself

He let me go

(I got a heartache)

(Don't mention my heartache)

Just like that

(I don't even what to talk about it)

Oh, you know what I'm talking about

I got a heartache

I don't even want to think about it

When you think, you got it all together...
