You Don't Have To Act Tha lyrics

Written by: myles goodwyn

You act like someone else and I don't know why
You try to pretend you're hurt but you won't cry
And I don't believe the things that you told me
I know that you only do it 'cos you're lonely

And all your friends have lost their way
And you don't know who you can turn to
It's been such a long, long way girl
And I know what you've been through

So you don't have to act that way, tonite
You don't have to act that way tonite

People misunderstand you when it's not right
I'm gonna hold your hand and make you feel nice
I'm gonna show you all that love can be
I'll always be around when you need me

Look into my eyes and smile for me
I'll hold you in my arms you'll see
All it takes is one on one and that can be
Enough for some

So you don't have to act that way tonite
You don't have to act that way tonite

So you don't have to act that way tonite
You don't have to act that way tonite
It's alright
It's alright

You don't have to say you're sorry
I'd never turn your words around
Be yourself now don't be lonely
You know I'd never let you down
Tell me what you've been goin' thru
I'm trying to understand and get to know you
You can believe the things that I'm sayin'
Put all your trust in me and what you're feelin'

All your friends have lost their way
And you don't know who you can turn to
It's seems such a long long way
And I know what you been through

So you don't have to act that way tonite
You don't have to act that way tonite
You don't have to act that way tonite
It's alright
It's alright
It's alright
