I Keep It Hid

(Jimmy Webb)



Deep down inside

I know I still love him

But he'll never know

'Cause I'll never tell



I'll confide that I'm thinking of him

And wishing him well

I can't walk up to him and say to him



Baby, what you been doing

I still love you like I did

You know, nothing's really changed here

But being the way I am

I keep it hid



Lately I've seen

That look in his eyes

That just breaks my heart

He needs me so

To lean on at this moment

Oh, why can't I walk up to that old love of mine and say



Baby, what you been doing

I still love you like I did

You know, nothing's really changed here

But being the way I am

I keep it hid



Maybe someday I'll throw off my foolish pride

This ain't so good

Watching him did this way

'Cause he's the same guy inside

Oh, why can't I walk up to that old love of mine and say



Baby, what you been doing

I still love you like I did

You know, nothing's really changed here

But being the way I am

I keep it hid
