As recorded by ELVIS PRESLEY:

Your losin' interest in me and it's showin' 
It ain't no big thing, but it's growin' 
The pain of heartbreak I've just started knowin' 
Well, it ain't no big thing, but it's growin'

Every day the hurt grows bigger than before
But I'll pretend I don't notice if I can hold you one day more
You've got the look of someone who is goin'
You're gonna leave me and it's showin'
A little tear I can feel start to flowin'
It ain't no big thing, but it's growin'

(Instrumental Break)

Every day the hurt grows bigger than before
But I'll pretend I don't notice, oh, if I can hold you one day more
You got the look of someone who is goin'
Well, you're gonna leave me and it's showin'
A little tear I can feel start to flowin'
Well, it ain't no big thing, but it's growin'
No, it ain't no big thing, but it's growin'
