Sometimes I'm up, sometimes I'm down
Sometimes I'm fallin' on the ground
Why do you hide,
why do you hide your love, baby
Now look here baby, your sure look sweet
But you been sleeping out on the street

Why do you hide, why do you hide your love
Why do you hide it baby, why do you hide your love

Oh babe I'm sinking I wanna cry
Well I been drinking but now I'm dry
Why do ya hide, why do ya hide yer love
Now look here baby you sure look cheap
I make it mama seven days a week
Why do ya hide where do ya hide ya love,
Why do you hide it baby
Hide from the man that you love,

Oh yeah, oh yeah,
Oh yeah, oh yeah,
Why do you hide, why do you hide ya love
C'mon, c'mon, c'mon,
C'mon, c'mon, c'mon,

Oh Lord I'm reaching, reaching high
Oh babe I'm falling right out the sky
Why do ya hide, where do ya hide ya love
Why do ya hide it baby
Hide from the man that you love

Oh yeah, oh yeah,
Oh yeah, oh yeah,
Why do ya hide why do ya hide your love
Why do ya hide it baby
Hide from the man that you love,
