What Shall I Say Lyrics - Billie Holiday

Peter Tinturin 

What shall I say 

When our neighbours want us to come to tea? 

They don't know you're not with me 

What shall I say? 

What shall I say 

When the phone rings and someone asks for you 

They don't know I ask for you too 

What shall I say? 

How can I hide the tears inside 

How can I face the crowd? 

I can, make lips of mine be still 

But my heart sighs too loud

I could explain that 

You're only gone for a walk to shop 

But after the week is up 

What shall I say?
