Smile Songtext
von Durand Jones & The Indications

Ask me how I′m doin'
I smile and say just fine
And there′s no need to ask me brother
What I've been doin' to pass the time

I lay awake at night still fallin′ under your spell (let her go)
What once a home is again my lonely prison cell (she don′t know)

Try to get by just for a while
To hide my pride paint on my smile

Too late to say I'm sorry
With a guilt that I can′t stand
Upon your chest your arms are folded
With a bottle in your hand

The devil makes his mark, the needle takes its toll (let her go)
I told you that I'd forgive, but that won′t save your soul, no, no (she don't know)


Try to get by just for a while
To hide my pride paint on my smile
Yeah, try to get by just for a while
To hide my pride paint on my smile

All these people think I′m crazy
I smile and say I'm fine
I saw the cruelness of addiction
I saw you fade away with time

Try to get by just for a while
To hide my pride paint on smile (yeah)
Try to get by just for a while
To hide my pride paint on my smile
Try to get by just for a while
Yeah

Can't you see? Yeah
No, oh
