Coamhim - Smile Lyrics

There is a special skill that I know
To keep yourself going when you're all outta dough
And it doesn't cost a penny
It'll get you the job, it can win you the race
Prevent you from getting a fist in the face
Yes, it's benefits are many
Most people take theirs for granted
But even when mine is faking or slanted
I never forsake its value
It can be a life-saver or the first-degree
And you're probably wondering just what it could be
Well, now - I'm about to tell you
Just take a moment for a happy thought
Maybe a special person that you like a lot
And you will start to feel
A pleasant glow rise up from your chest
Till it reaches where your mouth will do all the rest
As your lips, they part with zeal

It's an easy exercise to cauterize the trauma
You just smile
You just smile
And when you can't get a worthwhile role in the modern drama
You just smile
You just smile
If you find yourself mistaking right-side-up for upside-down
You just smile
You just smile
And if you ever meet someone with a good-day-crushing frown
You just smile
You just smile

Sometimes I've found it under the dirt
Usually right after I have been really hurt
I brush it off and put it back on
It's my favorite way to save the day
Or get a hottie to go for a roll in the hay
No, it doesn't take brains or brawn
And if you ever wanna get something for free
Even when it really should cost some money
It's a sure-fire way to scam 'em
And if you bump into a bullet-proof bully with a gun
And he looks at you like he's not the one
It's the perfect look to hand 'em
You can make a living at the local on-ramp
Or bum a stamp at the prison camp
And you're not just a parasite
You can make an enemy think hating is fun
Or even sell sex to an elderly nun
If you flash that thing just right

If you're just a little kid and they say you don't know jack
You just smile
You just smile
And when you hate life later on but you can't have your childhood back
You just smile
You just smile
And if as you get older, your pain and fear, it only grows
You just smile
You just smile
And if at your funeral you find your casket closed
You just smile
You just smile
(You just smile)
