Smilin'

(album: Zoom - 1998)

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 smiling smiling smiling
All the while inside I'm dying
Laughing I'm laughing
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 smiling smiling smiling
All the while inside I'm dying
Laughing I'm laughing
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 smiling smiling smiling
All the while inside you're dying
Laughing I'm laughing
Gone without a trace
The smile from off your face
Since I left you
