Smilin'!! Lyrics - Me, Myself & Us - 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 !
