my friends all ask me   how i'm doin   since you took you sweet love away   and i kno that they're    just showin they care   but what do they expect me to say      so i lie   i tell them i'm alright   i lie   i tell them i'm fine   i don't think they really wanna know the truth   what's the use?   what can they do?   so i look them straight in the eye   and i lie      they offer a shoulder to cry on   anytime, i just have to call   but little do they know   the river that would flow   if i let the first tear drops fall      so i lie   i tell them i'm alright   i lie   i tell them i'm fine   i don't think they really wanna know the truth   what's the use?   what can they do?   so i look them straight in the eye   and i lie      i've often wondered what i'd do   if i were to run into you   would my heart fall at your feet   would my foolish pride get the best of me   well honestly i believe      that i'd lie   and tell you i'm alright   i'd lie i'd tell you i'm fine   i could never ever let you know the truth   that i'm still in love and so confused   so i'd hide my pain deep inside   then i'd look you straight in the eye   and i'd lie      [Thanks to hispanic_causin_pannic@hotmail.com for lyrics]
