Smilin'!!

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 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 I feel like I'm not gonna make it I really feel like I'm not gonna make it And it might be the best thing that happened to me So now Hey little girl Keep on smilin' 'Cuz they don't wanna hear you complaining You're a lucky girl Your life is so exciting So I'll keep on making bad jokes 'Cuz 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 a 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 I ain't got no safe place to go I still hold my drink I'm not as thirsty as before I have my voice But I hear lately that people don't 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 I feel like I'm not gonna make it I really feel like I'm not gonna make it But it might be the best thing that ever happened to me So now Hey little girl Keep on smilin' 'Cuz they don't wanna hear you complaining You're a lucky girl Your life is so exciting So I'll keep on making bad jokes 'Cuz you think I'm strong And it might be the way you like it Oh how I need you to like me So please no 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 Just don't be alarmed Don't you see that I'm just down Just don't worry Soon I'll be back on the track smilin' 'Cuz 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 'Cuz I need to be strong It might be my only chance to get out of here And now I really need to make it
