Track byHank Ballard & The Midnighters
(Harlan Howard and Buck Owens) 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 Chorus 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 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 Repeat chorus And I'd better say goodbye before I cry
