If That’s the Way You Feel
I don't blame you for I know you want him
That your love for me was never real
I could hold you but you'd be unhappy
But it's alright if that's the way you feel

I know that I will always go on caring
And my feelings now I must conceal
I could hold you but you'd be unhappy
But it's alright if that's the way you feel

I always knew some day that I would lose you
When those lies about me were revealed
It's plain to see, sweetheart, that you believe them
But it's alright if that's the way you feel

I know that I will always go on caring
Even though those lies about me are all true
I could hold you but you'd be unhappy
But it's alright if that's the way you feel
It's alright if that's the way you feel
