Intro: verse 1: Don't act like your heart isn't hard And that the joker isn't your card Changing your tune as you put up your guard And go whistling past a graveyard verse 2: You change your mind like you're changing your clothes Though you dress in rags and you turn up your nose When it makes no sense, I will act like it does Coming to your defence though I have no weapons verse 3: So don't act like your heart isn't hard That the truth in your head isn't dark You can turn Tin Pan Alley into a boulevard And go whistling past a graveyard verse 4: Don't want the pretence of what love shouldn't be It'll bore you to death before setting you free To be just as good or bad as you are In the eye of the storm, we will both be sorry Bridge: Don't hide your tears behind a facade Of a thousand jokes you thought I forgot And then blame me for no longer laughing VERSE 5: Everyone's cruel at times When you're not at your best and you're crossing the line I'll look past your mistakes if you look past mine And go stumbling past a gold mine OUTRO: Don't act like your heart isn't hard
