Excuse Me (I Think I've Got A Heartache)
George Hamilton IV · Other Songs - George Hamilton IV
say goodbye before I cry
They just don't know how lost I feel without you
My teardrops never see the light of day
I laugh and joke each time they talk about you
But if they heard my heart they'd hear it say
Excuse me I think I've got a heartache
There's an aching deep inside and it just won't be denied
Excuse me I think I've got a heartache and I'd better
say goodbye before I cry
[ steel ]I guess it's pride that makes me hide my sorrow
I live a lie in all I do and say
My lips may lie and paint a bright tomorrow but if
I told the truth I'd have to say
Excuse me I think I've got a heartache...
