You've got to learn to show a happy face Although you're full of misery You mustn't show a trace of sadness And never look for sympathy You've got to learn, although it's very hard The way of pocketing your pride And sometimes face humiliation While you are burning up inside Facing reality is awful hard to do When it seems happiness is gone You've got to learn to hide your tears And tell your heart life must go on You've got to learn to leave the table When love is no longer being served Just show them all that you are able To leave without saying a word You've got to learn to hide your sorrow And go on living as before What good is thinking of tomorrow Who knows what it may have in store? You've got to learn to be much stronger At times your head should rule your heart You've got to learn from hard experience And listen to the voice And sometimes pay the price But I won't learn to live with a broken heart
