You act like someone else and i don't know why

You try to pretend you're hurt but you won't cry

And i don't believe the things that you told me

I know that you only do it 'cos you're lonely



And all your friends have lost their way

And you don't know who you can turn to

It's been such a long, long way girl

And i know what you've been through



So you don't have to act that way, tonite

You don't have to act that way tonite



People misunderstand you when it's not right

I'm gonna hold your hand and make you feel nice

I'm gonna show you all that love can be

I'll always be around when you need me



Look into my eyes and smile for me

I'll hold you in my arms you'll see

All it takes is one on one and that can be

Enough for some



So you don't have to act that way tonite

You don't have to act that way tonite



So you don't have to act that way tonite

You don't have to act that way tonite

It's alright

It's alright



You don't have to say you're sorry

I'd never turn your words around

Be yourself now don't be lonely

You know i'd never let you down

Tell me what you've been goin' thru

I'm trying to understand and get to know you

You can believe the things that i'm sayin'

Put all your trust in me and what you're feelin'



All your friends have lost their way

And you don't know who you can turn to

It's seems such a long long way

And i know what you been through



So you don't have to act that way tonite

You don't have to act that way tonite

You don't have to act that way tonite

It's alright

It's alright

It's alright
