natalie cole – don’t mention my heartache lyrics

written by c. wilmore & c. jackson
hoo, hoo, mm
don’t mention my heartache
i just hide it away
don’t want to remember what brings me pain
who does it hurt if i’m masquerading
when anybody asks me you know i’ll say, yeah
that i love him, he loves me
we’re so good together
i’ll pretend he’s home again
though he’s gone forever
don’t mention my heartache
’cause i don’t want n-body to know, no, no, no
just keep it a secret that he let me go
’cause i don’t want n-body to know
that i go through the motions (motions)
put a smile on my face, yes, i do
i heard that the weather is changing today, yeah, yeah
and i don’t talk about my business to noone
if anybody asks me you know what i’ll say, yeah
that i love him; he loves me, we’re so good together
i’ll pretend he’s home again, though he’s gone forever
don’t mention my heartache
’cause i don’t want n-body to know, oh, no
just keep it a secret that he let me go
’cause i don’t want n-body to know–
oh, oh, oh, oh, hoo–
that the heartache that i’m feeling makes me lonely, oh—
don’t mention my heartache
’cause i don’t want n-body to know, no, no
just keep it a secret that he let me go
and i don’t want n-body to know, n-body
(can’t talk about it)
nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah
(don’t want to think about it)
and i don’t want n-body, i got a heartache
i don’t want n-body, i don’t want n-body, i got a heartache
(don’t mention my heartache)
i got a heartache, he let me go
it’s a sweet face, yes, it is
don’t want n-body, can’t stand n-body
(don’t mention my heartache)
and i got to keep it a secret
(i’m minding my business)
’cause my man, ’cause my man
ain’t my man no more
keeping it a secret (don’t mention my heartache)
keeping it a secret, oh, all to myself, he let me go…
