A heap see, but very few knows
Heap see, but very few know
'Cause you try ('Cause you try)
You try not (You try not)
Oh, you try not to let it show

Every time people see you smilin'
They think that everything is alright
But what they don't know
Is that you been cryin'
All last night, oh yes you have
And instead of them coming to you
Askin' you what can they help you do
They say "Oh, I wish I was in their shoes"
Well they just don't know, children oh yes

A heap see, but very few knows
A heap see, but very few know
'Cause you try ('Cause you try)
You try not (You try not)
Oh, you try not to let it show

And every time they see you
In a big fine house
They think that nothin' could ever go wrong
But inside of that house
I bet they couldn't guess just what goes on
Oh no, they can't
And instead of them comin' to see you
Where only trouble can lead they said "Huh
They're doing much better than me"
Got a big fine house
But they just don't know, children
Let me tell you one thing

A heap see, yes sir (But very few know)
Sometime they can make mistakes about it
Children (A heap see) They see you
Drivin' a big fine sometime
(But very few know) But very few know
Children (A heap see) They don't know
What you're tryin' to do
