Smile Lyrics - Babyface

Smile 

written Babyface and Shanice Wilson 

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

20 Classic Christmas Lyrics to Celebrate The Holiday Season 

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 

Photos 

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
