DON'T MENTION MY HEARTACHE
(Chuck Jackson / C. Wilmore)

Natalie Cole


Hoo, hoo, mm
Don’t mention my heartache
I just hide it away
Don’t want to remember what brings me pain
Who does it hurt if I’m masquerading
When anybody asks me you know I’ll say, yeah
That I love him, he loves me
We’re so good together
I’ll pretend he’s home again
Though he’s gone forever
Don’t mention my heartache
’cause I don’t want nobody to know, no, no, no
Just keep it a secret that he let me go
’cause I don’t want nobody to know
That I go through the motions (motions)
Put a smile on my face, yes, I do
I heard that the weather is changing today, yeah, yeah
And I don’t talk about my business to noone
If anybody asks me you know what I’ll say, yeah
That I love him; he loves me, we’re so good together
I’ll pretend he’s home again, though he’s gone forever
Don’t mention my heartache
’cause I don’t want nobody to know, oh, no
Just keep it a secret that he let me go
’cause I don’t want nobody to know--
Oh, oh, oh, oh, hoo--
That the heartache that I’m feeling makes me lonely, oh---
Don’t mention my heartache
’cause I don’t want nobody to know, no, no
Just keep it a secret that he let me go
And I don’t want nobody to know, nobody
(can’t talk about it)
Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah
(don’t want to think about it)
And I don’t want nobody, I got a heartache
I don’t want nobody, I don’t want nobody, I got a heartache
(don’t mention my heartache)
I got a heartache, he let me go
It’s a sweet face, yes, it is
Don’t want nobody, can’t stand nobody
(don’t mention my heartache)
And I got to keep it a secret
(I’m minding my business)
’cause my man, ’cause my man
Ain’t my man no more
Keeping it a secret (don’t mention my heartache)
Keeping it a secret, oh, all to myself, he let me go...
