I'm Painting The Town Red Lyrics - Billie Holiday

A smile on my face 

A song on my lips 

Pretending is all I do 

I'm painting the town red 

To hide a heart that's blue 

I'm gay with the crowd 

I play with the crowd 

But oh, if they only knew 

I'm painting the town red 

To hide a heart that's blue 

Must I go on carrin' on? 

My merry song is just pretend 

Loving you so, wanting you so 

Where will it end, how will it end?
