I went out last night to a cabaret
I got home this mornin' at the break of day

[Chorus:]
People hide their love, People hide their love
People hide their love, People hide their love

Knockin' on my door; I know there's nobody home
But I go on in; talk to the telephone

[Chorus]
In the dimlit crowd, in a creaking bone
In the laugh too loud, in the midnight groan

[Chorus]
I went out last night to a little cabaret
I got home this mornin' at the break of day
