Lyrics Sergio Mendes – You Can’t Dress Up A Broken Heart

I wash that face of yesterday,
The minute I wake up,
No tell tale trace to give me away,
It’s covered with make up,

You can’t dress up a broken heart,
You can’ t fool love when it falls apart,
And you just don’t hide all the empty inside,
You can pull the wool over some folk’s eyes,
You can go downtown in a new disguise,
But you can’t dress up a broken heart.

I greet the world in shiny shoes,
A knight in her armor,
I keep the real and lonely me where no one can harm her,
Putting on some fancy clothes
Doesn’t stop the pain from going where it goes

You can’t dress up a broken heart,
You can’ t fool love when it falls apart,
And you just don’t hide all the empty inside,
You can pull the wool over some folk’s eyes,
You can go downtown in a new disguise,
But you can’t dress up a broken heart.
