I’d Like to Hide it

Lyrics

[BETSY] He's gentle, and he's such a handsome thing When I see John, reserve goes on the wing Though I know I mayn't I just want to faint I try to taunt, but only want to cling I'd like to hide it I'd like to hide it I'd like to smother down the flame inside But though I've tried it I can't abide it My heart keeps beating just the same inside It goes a-pitter-patter-patter And though I want to tell him, "No" My heart has cried it So I confide it I'd like to hide it But I love him so [BETSY & GIRLS] I'd like to hide it I'd like to hide it I'd like to smother down the flame inside But though I've tried it I can't abide it My heart keeps beating just the same inside It goes a-pitter-patter-patter And though I want to tell him, "No" My heart has cried it So I confide it I'd like to hide it But I love him so [BETSY] With every thrill I feel my will resign To my chagrin my blood turns into wine When I hear him speak I get very weak I try to frown as chills run down my spine I'd like to hide it I'd like to hide it I'd like to smother down the flame inside But though I've tried it I can't abide it My heart keeps beating just the same inside It goes a-pitter-patter-patter And though I want to tell him, "No" My heart has cried it So I confide it I'd like to hide it But I love him so [BETSY & GIRLS] I'd like to hide it I'd like to hide it I'd like to smother down the flame inside But though I've tried it I can't abide it My heart keeps beating just the same inside It goes a-pitter-patter-patter And though I want to tell him, "No" My heart has cried it So I confide it I'd like to hide it But I love him so!
