Rita Wilson - Crying, Crying

I'm in a room full of people I know
So tell me, why do I feel so alone?
They think they know me, but they only see me when I'm smilin', smilin'
They love the girl who's good for a laugh
But what they see is only a mask
And nobody asks if the other half of me is dyin', dyin'

But when I'm in my room and I'm by myself
I don't have to act happy for anyone else
But I wish I had somebody with me here
To kiss away the tears
The tears that I've been cryin', cryin', cryin'
Cryin'

I'm good at playin' the happiest one
I'll sing and dance 'til the last guest is gone
Oh, but after they go, only I know that I've been lyin', lyin'
In this every day game of pretend
I always wind up in another dead end
'Cause I do it too well, so no one can tell that I've been hidin', hidin'

But when I'm in my room and I'm by myself
I don't have to act happy for anyone else
But I wish I had somebody with me here
To kiss away the tears
The tears that I've been cryin', cryin', cryin'
Cryin'
Cryin', cryin', cryin'
Cryin'

I guess the joke is on me
The joke is on me
I guess the joke is on me
The joke is on me

Yeah, when I'm in my room and I'm by myself
I don't have to act happy for anyone else
But I wish I had somebody with me here
To kiss away the tears
The tears that I've been cryin', cryin', cryin'
Cryin', oh
Cryin', cryin', cryin'
Cryin'

I guess the joke is on me
Oh, the joke is on me
I guess the joke is on me, yeah
Oh, the joke is on me
I guess the joke is on me
