I'm lyin' to myself, cryin' to myself

Tryin' to make believe my baby's on the shelf

But it's more than I can do

Tryin' to find a way to bluff it through

I miss my lovin' and kissin'

When I hear the radio playin' "I Love You So"

That's the time, you know, I start to feel like ten below

I'm lyin' to myself

Tryin' to chase the blues away

Just because of foolish pride I tried to hide

All feeling's for Cupid's art

And though I've cried out loud that two's a crowd

That don't convince my heart

When I think of my sweet pet and the places we met

I tell myself I'm not a doggone bit upset

But I'm lyin' to myself,

Tryin' to chase the blues away
