Lyrics

I'm supposed to shake his hand and walk all smiling
Make believe that you don't mean a thing to me
I'm supposed to offer my congratulations but I'm not the man that I supposed to be
I'm supposed to make believe I won't miss you
And forget the times you held me tenderly
I'm supposed to tell the world it never happened
But I'm not the man that I supposed to be
I'd rather stand up and fight for what's mine
And to give you up it's just too much for me
So if I don't shake his hand and come out fighting
That I'm not the man that I supposed to be
[ piano ]
So if I don't shake his hand..
