[Verse 1]

You ask me to do some strange things

But do nothing in return

I'm like a moth around a candle

I fly too close and I get burned

[Chorus]

Don't want to let my feelings show

I can't help myself

I wish I'd never let you know

I can‘t help myself

I don't want to let my feelings show

I can't help myself

I should have had the sense to go

[Verse 2]

Must I be a slave to my emotions

Couldn't fate choose someone else

I try to talk to you about my problems

And I end up talking to myself

I've had the biggest hand in my own downfall

'Cause I wanted to believe your lies

They told me you had terminal indifference

And I told them I thought you were nice

[Chorus]

Don't want to let my feelings show

I can't help myself

I wish I'd never let you know

I can't help myself

I don't want to let my feelings show

I can't help myself

I should have had the sense to go

Whoa-oh-oh

Don't want to let my feelings show

I can't help myself

I wish I'd never let you know

I can't help myself

I didn't want to let my feelings show

I can't help myself

I should have had the sense to go

Whoa-oh-oh

[Scat-singing interlude]

Tell me something

[Verse 3]

Every time I feel a little better

Something you do makes it worse

I thought you were the joy that I'd been seeking

But in fact you've become the reverse

[Chorus]

Don't want to let my feelings show

I can't help myself

I wish I'd never let you know

I can't help myself

I don't want to let my feelings show

I can't help myself

I should have had the sense to go

Whoa-oh-oh

Don't want to let my feelings show

I can't help myself

I wish I'd never let you know

I can't help myself

I wish I'd never let you know

I can't help myself

I don't want to let my feelings show

I can't help myself

I should have had the sense to go

Whoa-oh-oh

Can't go on like this

Whoa-oh-oh
