Smilin'!! Songtext

von 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 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
