Songtext zu 'Smile' von Babyface

Verse 1
Sometimes I sit at home
And wonder how it'd be
If he had loved me
Truly loved me, yes
I learned a while ago
The kind of thing
Never happens for me
And so I go around
And just pretend
Love is not for me

B-section 1
I play the circus clown around my friends
Make them laugh and they won't see
That you never let them see you sweat
Don't want them to think the pain runs deep
Lord knows it's killing me

Chorus
So I put on my make-up
Put a smile on my face
And if anyone asks me
Everything is okay
I'm laughing 'cause no one
Knows the joke is on me
'Cause I'm dying inside
With my pride and a smile
On my face
On my face

Sing it la-la, la
(La-la, la-la)
La, la
(La-la, la-la, la-la)
La-la
(Lala)
Oh
(la-la, la-la)

Verse 2
Sometimes I sit at home
By the phone
Hoping he might call me
(Call me)
But he don't call me
(Call me, call me, call me)
But then I realize
Dreams come true
Aren't for girls like me
Not like me

B-section 2
And so I go around with my head up
Like it ain't no thing
And when the boys around with all my friends
I'm into other things
Because you never let them see you sweat
Don't want them to think the pain runs deep
Lord knows it's killing me

Chorus
And so I put on (my make-up)
Put it on, put it on
(Put a smile on my face)
A smile on my face
(And if anyone asks me)
Oh yeah
(Everything is okay)
Oh I'm laughing ('cause no one)
No one, no one
(Knows the joke is on me)
'Cause I'm dying inside
With my pride and a smile
On my face
On my face

Bridge
It's not an easy
(Thing to do)
Sometimes it's hard to
(Face the truth)
It's not the life that I would choose
(I would choose)
But what else can I do?
If he don't love me, no
If he don't want me
I'm not about to sit around
Let myself
(Go)
Go

Chorus
So I put on my make-up
(Put a smile on my face)
I put smile on my face
(And if anyone asks me)
Everything is okay
(Everything is okay)
Oh I'm laughing ('cause no one)
No one, no one
(Knows the joke is on me)
But I'm dying inside
('Cause I'm dying inside)
With my pride
(With my pride)
And a smile
(And a smile)
On my face
On my face

Sing it la-la, la
(La- la, la-la)
La-la
(La-la, la-la, la-la)
La-la
(La-la, la-la
La-la, la-la)
Love keeps singing la-la, la
(La-la, la-la-la, la-la, la-la-la,
La-la, la-la, la-la)
La-la
(La-la, la-la, la-la, la-la)
Love keeps singing la-la, la
(La-la, la-la
La-la, la-la, la-la)
La-la, la-la, la
(La-la, la-la, la-la, la-la)
Love keeps singing la-la, la
(La-la, la-la)
Ooo
(La-la, la-la, la-la)
La-la, la
(La-la, la-la, la-la)
Love keeps singing la-la
