I know you act
all tough and mean,
that’s what
everyone sees.
A real go getter
right down to the letter,
you are such a tease.
Trying me, getting me
to prove I’m true,
well I’ve got nothing
to prove.
You’re not mean
or what you seem,
I know you. . .

deep down.

Deep down you
know you care,
don’t deny it
that’s not fair
to me or you,
you know it’s true,
I know you hear.
It’s okay to
go around
in circles
right now,
but I know what you’re up to
because I know you
deep down.

You try your best
to put on an act,
but I can see through
it and right on past,
into your heart
right from the start
I knew the facts.
You try to cover
up what you feel
so no one will
know it’s really real.
You’re a lover
and your cover
is starting to peel. . .

deep down.

Deep down your
feelings grow stronger
and now it’ll only
be a little longer
before your cover fades
and you face the light of day,
you’re a goner.
What are you
going to do now?
Lose that
disapproving frown,
your mind is reeling
and you know what you’re feeling
deep down.
