I see you tryin' tô hide your hurt
In this crowded room
And when a conversation starts
I see that you're talking too
But there's a sadness in your laughter
That your heart won't let you hide
And your cover doesn't matter
When the truth is in your eyes
Don't you know that a tear can tell
(A tear can tell)
Can tell on you
Just one little tear can tell
(A tear can tell)
Can tell on you
Don't cry, 'cause a tear can tell
(A tear can tell)
Can tell on you
And I know it's hard for you tô say
What you feel out loud
But it's plain tô me
You're more than just a face in the crowd
Well, you were pressing your selection
Out of the music that you play
When you looked in my direction
You gave yourself away
Don't you know that a tear can tell
(A tear can tell)
Can tell on you
Just one little tear can tell
(A tear can tell)
Can tell on you
Don't cry, 'cause a tear can tell
(A tear can tell)
Can tell on you
Don't you worry
If you can't talk about it
Darlin', that's alright
Just let me be the one
Tô hold you through the night
'Cause I'd understand
That a tear can tell
(A tear can tell)
Can tell on you
Just one little tear can tell
(A tear can tell)
Can tell on you
Don't cry, 'cause a tear can tell
(A tear can tell)
Can tell on you
Don't you know that a tear can tell
(Tear can tell)
Can tell on you
Just one little tear
(A tear can tell, can tell on you)
Can tell on you
(A tear can tell)
Don't cry
(A tear)
Can tell on you
(A tear can tell)
Just one little tear
Can tell on you
