Smilin'!!

Smilin' - Pascale Picard

I am not gonna make it

I can see the crowd around me

Is getting bigger and as it is

I'm trying to figure out

Why I feel so isolated

I have my friends

But don't have much time for them

I have my house

A tiny pocket in my luggage

I have my boyfriend

But he's also so tired of listening to me

Every single day

Seems like a mountain to climb

Every single word

It takes all my strength to get it out

I'm tired of talking about me

But in fact it's the only thing

I get a grip on

Hey little girl keep on smiling:

Cause they don't want to hear you complaining

You're a lucky girl

Your life's so exciting

So I'll keep on making bad jokes

'Cause you think I'm strong

And it might be the way you like it

Oh how I need you to like me

I have tried as hard as I can

I have tried to go through 9 to 5

But I was like a train

Between work and bars

Never found out what I was traveling for

Now I have my car

But I ain't got no safe place to go

I still hold my drink

But I'm not as thirsty as before

I have my voice

But I heard lately that people

Don't want to hear sad songs

Every single place

It's all the same to me

Every single face

I know it will be replaced

By another smiley one

Who will also be left soon

Somewhere behind

Hey little girl keep on smiling

'Cause they don't want to hear you complaining

You're a lucky girl

Your life's so exciting

So I'll keep on making bad jokes

'Cause you think I'm strong

And it might be the way you like it

Oh how I need you to like me

So please now just don't count on me

I can't handle it anymore

And don't ask me why

If you don't want me to lie

But don't be alarmed

Don't you see that I'm just down

Just don't worry

Soon I'll be back on the tracks

Smilin'

'Cause I'll get tired of complaining

I'm a lucky girl

And I'm doing exactly what I wanted

So I'll keep on making bad jokes

'Cause I need to be strong

It might be my only chance to get out of it

And now I really need to make it
