If you turn back now
And let you down
What would you say if I
Told a lie?
I made you cry?
What would you say
To keep a stiff upper lip, my friend?
Swallow your pride
Keep it inside
And keep a stiff upper lip, my friend
Don't let it show
'Cause no one wants to know
No one wants to know, my friend
You drove me around the bend
And I can't pretend
To keep a stiff upper lip, my friend
When people say
"Don't be scared"
What do they know?
How can you feel
How you want to feel?
Just like so
You keep a stiff upper lip, my friend
Swallow your pride
Keep it inside
And keep a stiff upper lip, my friend
Don't let it show
'Cause no one wants to know
No one wants to know, my friend
You drove me around the bend, oh
