You Got to See Mama Ev'ry Night (Remastered) - Sweet Violet Boys

(Shut up) Shut up Here I stand with head in hand I turn my face to the wall If she's gone, I can't go on Feelin' two-foot small Everywhere people stare Each and every day I can hear them laugh at me And I hear them say Hey, you've got to hide your love away Hey, you've got to hide your love away How can I even try? I can never win Seeing them, hearing them In the state I'm in How could she say to me? Love will find a way So gather 'round, all you clowns Let me hear you say Hey, you've got to hide your love away Hey, you've got to hide your love away La, la, la, la La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la La, la, la, la La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la (Shut up, something)

Lines on your face don't bother me Down in my chair when you dance over me I can't help myself I've got to see you again Late in the night when I'm all alone And I look at the clock and I know you're not home I can't help myself I've got to see you again I could almost go there Just to watch you be seen I could almost go there Just to live in a dream But, no, I won't go for any of those things To not touch your skin is not why I sing I can't help myself I've got to see you again I could almost go there Just to watch you be seen I could almost go there Just to live in a dream No, I won't go to share you with them But, oh, even though I know where you've been I can't help myself I've got to see you again

Sometimes I can't see past a day I know I'm growin' tired and I feel it, yeah And the song that I sing when the notes begin to ring It's hard for my head to get into the melody, yeah Day to day, I tell you Day by day I see faces all around me When they start to smile I just stop for a while And I say baby let me love you A small town store with an old wooden floor The old man inside sellin' dry goods Has a smile on his face Don't you know that's hard to replace I bet he's gonna live to be a hundred, yeah Day to day, I tell you Day by day I see faces all around me When they start to smile I just stop for a while And I say baby let me love you Summer is hot and the winter is cold People all doin' just what they're told It's too bad, it's too sad Thinkin' for yourself is a hard thing to do Well, don't you know they're depending on you To see them through, yeah To see them through It's the only thing you can do You know you got to see them through Shinin' my light like a candle so bright Show me the way to my future, yeah With your hand on my face Take me far from this place Honey, I'll be the key to your heavenly door Hear me, baby, calling to you now Don't you know now baby, well, they're countin' on you See me, baby, reachin' for you For you, reachin' out for you, baby Don't you see me reachin' out for you Hear me, baby, hear me callin' to you Don't you know, baby, that I'm countin' on you To see me through
