Smilin'
you tell me you're the second coming
but you come once and then you're done
when you're with me you say you're slumming
you must believe that i'm really dumb
but pretty soon the tune you're humming
is gonna change and you'll be bummed
and it's gonna strip
the curl right from your lip
yeah you were smilin' smilin' smilin'
all the while inside i'm dyin'
laughin' i'm laughin'
gone without a trace
the smile from off your face
since i left you
i used to wanna be your lover
i used to think that you were cool
i bet you thought you hooked another
now you know i'm not your fool
'cause soon enough you will discover
the price you pay for being cruel
and it's gonna smear
the lipstick from your sneer
yeah you were smilin' smilin' smilin'
all the while inside i'm dyin'
laughin' i'm laughin'
gone without a trace
the smile from off your face
since i left you
leonardo could never do
any justice to one like you
those eyes that guile
those lies that smile
and now i'm smilin' smilin' smilin'
all the while inside you're dyin'
laughin' i'm laughin'
gone without a trace
the smile from off your face
since i left you
but you come once and then you're done
when you're with me you say you're slumming
you must believe that i'm really dumb
but pretty soon the tune you're humming
is gonna change and you'll be bummed
and it's gonna strip
the curl right from your lip
yeah you were smilin' smilin' smilin'
all the while inside i'm dyin'
laughin' i'm laughin'
gone without a trace
the smile from off your face
since i left you
i used to wanna be your lover
i used to think that you were cool
i bet you thought you hooked another
now you know i'm not your fool
'cause soon enough you will discover
the price you pay for being cruel
and it's gonna smear
the lipstick from your sneer
yeah you were smilin' smilin' smilin'
all the while inside i'm dyin'
laughin' i'm laughin'
gone without a trace
the smile from off your face
since i left you
leonardo could never do
any justice to one like you
those eyes that guile
those lies that smile
and now i'm smilin' smilin' smilin'
all the while inside you're dyin'
laughin' i'm laughin'
gone without a trace
the smile from off your face
since i left you
