Words / The Zombies

should i try to hide

the way i feel inside

my heart for you?

would you say that you

would try to love me too?

in your mind could you ever be

really close to me?

i can tell the way you smile

if i feel that i could be certain then

i would say the things

i want to say tonight

but till i can see

that you'd really care for me

i will dream that someday you'll be

really close to me

i can tell the way you smile

if i feel that i could be certain then

i would say the things

i want to say tonight

but till i can see

that you'd really care for me

i'll keep trying to hide

the way i feel inside
