Painted Smile

Painted Smile - The Moody Blues

I can sing I can dance

Just give me a chance to do my turn for you

There's a chance I'll slip but with stiff upper lip

I'll sing my song for you

Laughter is free but it's so hard to be

A jester all the time no one's believing

I'm the same when I'm bleeding

And I hurt all the time deep inside

I've shed a tear for the lying

While everyday trying to paint this smile for you

Back flips cartwheeling somersault feelings

What is there left to do

Laughter is free but it's so hard for me

A jester all the time no one's believing

I'm the same when I'm bleeding

And I hurt all the time deep inside

Roll up roll up enjoy the show

Pick me up wind me up put me down

You'll see me go and this painted smile

May miss for a while then come back

And steal your show

I sing I dance give me a chance

To do my turn for you

With back flips cartwheeling

Somersault feelings what's there left to do

Laughter is free but it's so hard to be

A jester all the time no one's believing

I'm the same when I'm bleeding

And I hurt all the time deep inside

Laughter is free but it's so hard to be

A jester all the time no one's believing

I'm the same when I'm bleeding

And I hurt all the time deep inside
