Smile, for me Won't you just smile for me Smile, for me Won't you just smile for me Baby girl, why you don't smile no more? So you feeling unpretty 'cause the clothes you got on They ain't even in style no more Now you lookin' for some pity, you don't need it Just pick your head up Even when you're fed up You gotta know that, you know that it's gonna get better And believe it's a season, it won't be here forever Would just smile, for me Won't you just smile for me Smile, for me Won't you just smile for me I see you in your job getting read up And your son need a daddy and a haircut I've been in this position, remember mama's ambition Wasn't easy, but every night she still fed us Telling you to laugh through the pain, don't go insane Then you say that's how you maintain, hard to explain Don't be ashamed, We all go through it Don't say that it's hard, just do it Smile, on the days you feel like hope is gone and Smile, just tell yourself it won't be long and smile Smile, for me Won't you just smile for me Smile, for me Won't you just smile for me Smile, for me Won't you just smile for me Smile, for me Won't you just smile for me Smile, for me Won't you just smile for me Smile, for me Won't you just smile for me
