Tamia - Smile Lyrics

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
That kind of thing
It never happens for me
And so I go around
And just pretend
Love is not for me
I play the circus clown around my friends
Make them laugh and they won't see
That you never let 'em see you sweat
Don't want them to think the pain runs deep
Lord knows it's killing me

So I put on my makeup
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

Singing la, la
La, la, la, la (la, la)
La, la, la, la, la, la (la, la)
La, la, la, la, la, la (ooh, la)

Sometimes I sit at home
By the phone, hoping he might call me (call me, call me)
But he don't call me (call me, call me)
But then I realize
Dreams come true aren't for girls like me
Not like me
And so I go around with my head up
Like it ain't no thing
And when the boy's around with all my friends
I'm into other things

'Cause you never let 'em see you sweat
Don't want them to think the pain runs deep
Lord knows it's killing me

And so I put 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
But I'm dying inside
With my pride and a smile
On my face
On my face

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
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

So I put on my makeup
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

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
I keep singing, la, la
La, la (la, da, da) la, la (la, da, da)
La, la, la, la, la, la (la, la)
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
I keep singing, la, la
La, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
I keep singing, la, la
