When the key turns in my front door then the real me starts to show I take off my happy face and let the teardrops flow The same old hurt of loving you and knowing that you're gone Is always here to greed me when I come home alone I'm happy-go-lucky when I'm out with the crowd When they ask me about you I just laugh out loud This old mask that I keep wearing goes with me every place To keep a hurt from showing I wear my happy face These walls that surround me I'm glad that they can't speak Because at night I cry and talk to them until I fall asleep These old floors that I keep walking I'm glad they can't start talking Or my friends would know the secret I'm trying to keep But I'm happy-go-lucky...
