Put On A Smile

(专辑： An Evening With Silk Sonic - 2021)

Look here fellas
Take it from your Uncle Bootsy
Ain't no shame begging in the rain
Tell her how you really feel

Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

I could pretend when I'm out with my friends I ain't thinking about ya
I could pretend like I ain't in my feelings but that ain't true, nah
When I called you out your name
That was my ego, my pride, and pain
I should be a movie star, the way I play the part
Like everything's okay

Oh, not tryna be the life of the party
Oh, not buying shots for everybody
But it's all just an act
I can't have you back
Without you I've been going crazy
Tryna put on a smile
(Put on a smile)
Tryna fight these tears from crying
But lord knows
I'm dying, dying tryna put on a smile
(Put on a smile)
Smile
Ooh, out here smiling like a fool
(When the only thing worth smiling for)
Baby girl, the only thing worth smiling for was
You
(You)
You
You, you, you, you, you
(You, you, you, you, you)
You
Ooh

If I could turn back the hands on my Roly you know I would
I would've spent all my time making sure that my baby good
I'm trying hard to hide the shame
I know I'm playing a dangerous game
But since you've been gone
I ain't been the same
There's only so much a man can fake

Oh, not tryna be the life of the party
Oh, not buying shots for everybody
But it's all just an act
I can't have you back
Without you I've been going crazy
Tryna put on a smile
(Put on a smile)
Tryna fight these tears from crying
But lord knows
I'm dying, dying tryna put on a smile
(Put on a smile)
Baby
Out here smiling like a fool
(When the only thing worth smiling for)
Baby girl, the only thing worth smiling for
(When the only thing worth smiling for)
Baby girl, the only thing worth smiling for was
You
You, you
(You)

I'm tryna put on a smile
(Put on a smile)

Tryna fight these tears from crying
But lord knows
I'm dying
(Put on a smile)
Ah, baby
I'm smiling like a fool

(When the only thing worth smiling for)
Baby, you're the only thing worth smiling for
(When the only thing worth smiling for)
Oh, the only thing worth smiling for was
You
(You)
You
You, you, you, you, you
(You, you, you, you, you)
