You've Got Your Troubles - Desmond Dekker

(Shut up) Shut up Here I stand with head in hand I turn my face to the wall If she's gone, I can't go on Feelin' two-foot small Everywhere people stare Each and every day I can hear them laugh at me And I hear them say Hey, you've got to hide your love away Hey, you've got to hide your love away How can I even try? I can never win Seeing them, hearing them In the state I'm in How could she say to me? Love will find a way So gather 'round, all you clowns Let me hear you say Hey, you've got to hide your love away Hey, you've got to hide your love away La, la, la, la La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la La, la, la, la La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la (Shut up, something)

You've got her in your pocket And there's no way out now Put it in the safe and lock it 'cause it's home sweet home Nobody ever told you that it was the wrong way To trick a woman, make her feel she did it her way And you'll be there if she ever feels blue And you'll be there when she finds someone new What to do Well you know You keep her in your pocket Where there's no way out now Put it in a safe a lock it 'cause it's home sweet home The smile on your face made her think she had the right one And she thought she was sure by the way you two could have fun But now she might leave like she's threatened before Grab hold of her fast before her feet leave the floor And she's out the door Cause you want to keep her in your pocket Where there's no way out now Put it in a safe and lock it cause it's home sweet home And in your own mind you know you're lucky just to know her And in the beginning all you wanted was to show her But now you're scared, you think she's running away You search in your hand for something clever to say Don't go away Cause I want to keep you in my pocket where there's no way out now Put it in a safe and lock it 'cause it's home sweet home Home sweet home

When skies are cloudy and grey They're only grey for a day So wrap your troubles in dreams And dream your troubles away Until that sunshine peeps through There's only one thing to do Just wrap your troubles in dreams And dream all your troubles away Your castles may tumble (that's fate after all) Life's really funny that way No use to grumble, smile as they fall Weren't you king for a day? Just remember that sunshine Always follows the rain So wrap your troubles in dreams And dream your troubles away Your castles may tumble (that's fate after all) Life's really funny that way But no need to grumble, smile as they fall Weren't you king for a day? Just remember that sunshine Always follows the rain So wrap your troubles in dreams And dream... dreeaaam your troubles away
