You've Got To Hide Your Love Away
Here I stand head in hand
Turn my face to the wall
If she's gone I can't go on
Feelin' two-foot small
Everywhere people stare
Each and every day
I can see them laugh at me
And I hear them say
Hey you've got to hide your love away
Hey you've got to hide your love away
How could I even try
I can never win
Hearing them, seeing them
In the state I'm in
How could she say to me
Love will find a way
Gather round all you clowns
Let me hear you say
Hey you've got to hide your love away
Hey you've got to hide your love away
Information
At the time that this was written, it was thought to be a warning
to Brian Epstein to keep his homosexual activities hidden as it was
illegal in Britain at the time. The opening of the song with John's
feelings was a first for him and it became more common in his songs
after this.
