You've got to learn to show a happy face
Although you're full of misery
You mustn't show a trace of sadness
And never look for simple things
You've got to learn although it's very hard
The way(?) you pocket in your pride
Sometimes face humiliation
While you're burning up inside
Facing reality is often hard to do
When it seems happiness is gone
You've got to learn to hide your tears
And tell your heart life must go on
You've got to learn to leave the table
When love's no longer being served
To show everybody that you're able
To leave without saying a word
You've got to learn to hide your sorrow
And go on living as before
But good is thinking of tomorrow
Who knows what it may have been stored?
You've got to learn to be much stronger
The times your head must rule your heart
You've got to learn from hard experience
And lisen to advice
And sometimes pay the price
And learn to live with a broken heart
