Pat Benatar - Don't Let It Show Lyrics






If it's getting harder to face everyday
Don't let it show, don't let it show
Though it's getting harder to take what they say
Just let it go
And if it hurts when they mention my name
Say you don't know me
And if it helps when they say I'm to blame
Say you don't own me

Even if it's taking the easy way out
Keep it inside of you
Don't give in
Don't tell them anything

Don't let it
Don't let it show

Even though you know it's the wrong thing to say
Say you don't care, say you don't care
Even if you want to believe there's a way
I won't be there, I won't be there

But if you smile when they mention my name
They'll never know you
And if you laugh when they say I'm to blame
They'll never own you

Even if you feel you've got nothing to hide
Keep it inside of you
Don't give in
Don't tell them anything

Don't let it
Don't let it show

  1. N.... K....

    Repeating. I know, I was just pissed.

  2. N.... K....

    Sorry for repeatiy myself, I just don't get it.

  3. N.... K....

    How the fuck is Janet Jackson in the HOF and. Pat isn't?!!!

  4. N.... K....

    Love you Pat Benetar! And yes, she could have had an opera career, but I'm glad she decided to rock instead.

  5. F.... S....

    APP is way better. Sorry...

    F.... S....

    Bullshit. Without her, yes.

  6. r.... l....

    Alan Parsons Eric Woolfson song from I Robot sept 77 first live cover ive come across in 42 years

  7. D.... H....

    How does this not totally rip your heart out? Pat, you and Laura Branigan will eternally hold my heart!

  8. Y.... F....

    Que je l’ai écouter cet Pat benatar

  9. W.... a....

    My favorite Pat Benatar song by far. Her true vocal talent shines through so clearly with every phrase and every note she sings. She blasted out so many songs but I like this side of her better. She was awesome and versatile.

    W.... a....

    Listen to "Here's My Heart".

  10. E.... N....

    "Even if you want to believe there's a way
    I won't be there.."

  11. E.... N....

    The good old days..

  12. J.... M....

    Great. Better than the original.

  13. N.... H....

    god this is just awful...Geraldo ruins everything

    N.... H....

    I was thinking somebody really missed the boat with getting the chords right. The playing and singing are great but the chords sound like what some kid just learning would do - very simplistic.

    N.... H....

    Neil is a great guitarist.

  14. N.... H....

    NEIL GERALDO SUCKS ASS!

  15. M.... P....

    The Queen of Rock & Roll at her best.

    M.... P....

    Amen, brother. What a voice, what a fucking angel

    M.... P....

    My queen

  16. L.... N....

    Not to say anything bad about Pat Benatar but I think the whole band was great on this first album. Let me say that Pat Benatar has a great voice, but also the band contribution on the music to make as many hits as she has

    L.... N....

    Of course it was a group effort. But when you have a personality as large as Pat it overshadows others but there appears everything's all right.

    L.... N....

    She was a great performer with a great talent (says the former 16 yr old boy who fell in love with her when she hit American Bandstand in 1980.) But yeah, that group was solid, solid, solid. Doesn't get much better.

    L.... N....

    Get bent, Lee. She could have fronted any band.

  17. l.... ....

    She really had a unique and used different styles for her singing.

    Also, she has a voice that could have been on Broadway.

  18. A.... W....

    🍃🌷🌻🌼❤...

  19. R.... K....

    ...."Thanks-" 🇺🇸🐝💖😅🐅👻😜. BOBZGT🏁🐾🎃

  20. W.... T....

    Bought this album on cassette back in 83 , still got it but it's a bit wowy. Great album by a great singer

  21. R.... H....

    PAT BENATAR FOREVER!!!!!!!!!! THE BEST ALBUM

  22. M.... G....

    I Love pat benatar,great singer and beatiful woman !!!!!!

  23. J.... ....

    My very favorite Pat Benatar song.

    J.... ....

    Glad you enjoyed it.

  24. T.... B....

    one of my faves of hers

  25. L.... C....

    Benatar Forever 😉😍❤️

  26. n.... q....

    One of my favorites. Have seen her live a couple of times. Once at Ithaca College in the late 80's and again at the St. Pete Pier in the 90's. Just such an amazing, inspirational, beautiful woman! She will always be in Rock and Roll history as one of the best performers, and I love her!!!!!! Rock on Pat!

    n.... q....

    She has been performing a long time and making good music. She is an amazing woman and performer.

    n.... q....

    Fuck yeah, fuck the HOF. Janet Jackson made it, but Pat didn't? WTF?!

  27. t.... R....

    Alan Parsons will know how great PAT sings this wonderful song one of the best

    t.... R....

    He used different female singers over the years, even on his 90's "solo" albums, so probably wasn't impressed enoughed

  28. M.... M....

    on a mission to find the 'In The Heat of the Night'' album on cd.. this cover is soooo goood....phenomenal... :)

  29. S.... W....

    Alan Parson Project's Don't Let It Show was beautiful. But Pat Benatar's version is superb! #IRobot

    S.... W....

    I disagree. Pat has a great voice but she didn't perfect or take the song to the next level. Alan Parsons has a great song. Pat Benatar doesn't need to sing covers, she has a bunch of songs all on her own that are great. Everyone's opinion vary...I never liked her version of Helter Skelter or I Need A Lover or this one. I love her other songs though. 😎keep rocking

    S.... W....

    @Davis Foghorn This was on her first album so she didn't have a catalog of tunes to draw from at the time. APP version better than this, though .. I agree.

    S.... W....

    Nothing against Pat Benatar's voice, but this wonderful song by The APP deserves a better arrangement.

    S.... W....

    Parsons! Glad to see I'm not the only old guy that remembers the golden years of rock!

  30. T.... S....

    You can tell she trained professionally in opera

    T.... S....

    @kent kronlof Her voice is naturally suited as we hear. But she studied opera for years in hopes of attending Juilliard.

    T.... S....

    @John Ruhl I believe that Pat Benatar's mom was one-of her voice-coaches

    T.... S....

    Maybe, I'm thinking-of Mariah Carey, and HER mom?

    T.... S....

    big vibrato

    T.... S....

    Thats exactly what I was just thinking. You can hear the range of her operatic training. I saw about 20 minutes of her in concert. I dont regret it...wish I could of seen the whole thing through from start to finish. Maybe the only time Ill ever get to see her.

  31. N.... D....

    superbe pat benatar ♥ 🇫🇷

  32. M.... G....

    1:15 wtf ?

    M.... G....

    The reply in Japanese roughly translates to, "Good cover. A hard to cover ballad. The original by APP is perfect of course. It's no wonder it has been covered by so many artists." That's the best I can do. Maybe someone can do better?

    M.... G....

    Don't tell them anything, especially your password! :)

  33. �.... ....

    いいねえ、パットベネターはハードな曲ばかりでなくバラードもいい。原曲アランパーソンズプロジェクトは勿論パーフェクトだが、この曲はもっと多数のアーティストにカヴァーされても不思議ではない。

    �.... ....

    Wut? : - )
