what i go thru to keep holding on to you

Skeeter Davis

What I go thru to keep holding on to you
I pick your dirty shirt up off the floor
And wash out all the lipstick stains once more
Pretend I don t know about those bad things you do
What I go thru to keep holding on to you
Pretend that I m asleep when you come in
So I won t have to ask you where you ve been
Cause I m afraid you d tell me what I didn t want is true
What I go thru to keep holding on to you
Everybody wonders why I make it and even you must wonder why I take it
But everytime you step across that line
My crazy heart knows maybe it s the last time
I ve learned to hide my hurt behind a smile
And hoped that you ll be true for just a while
But all the time I know you ll do just what you want to do
What I go thru to keep holding on to you
What I go thru to keep holding on to you
