Put On A Smile lyrics

Oh, lookie here, fellas

Take it from your Uncle Bootsy

Ain’t no shame beggin’ in the rain

Tell her how you really feel

Ooh, ooh-ooh

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh

I could pretend when I’m out with my friends

I ain’t thinkin’ about you

I could pretend like I ain’t in my feelings

But that ain’t true, nah (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, now I try to be the life of the party

All night, buying shots for everybody

But it’s all just an act (Yeah) ’cause I can’t have you back (Yeah)

Without you, I’ve been goin’ crazy

Tryna put on a smile (Put on a smile)

Tryna fight these tears from cryin’

But Lord knows I’m dyin’, dyin’

Tryna put on a smile, smile (Put on a smile)

Ooh, out here smilin’ like a fool

When the only thing worth smilin’ for

Baby girl, the only thing worth smilin’ for was

You, you, you

You, you, you, you, you

You

If I could turn back the hands on my Rollie, you know I would

I would’ve spent all my time makin’ sure that my baby good

I’m tryin’ hard to hide the shame

I know I’m playin’ a dangerous game

But since you been gone, I ain’t been the same

There’s only so much a man can fake

Oh, now I try to be the life of the party

All night, buying shots for everybody

But it’s all just an act (Yeah) ’cause I can’t have you back (Yeah)

Without you, I’ve been goin’ crazy

Tryna put on a smile (Put on a smile)

Tryna fight these tears from cryin’

But Lord knows I’m dyin’, dyin’

Tryna put on a smile, smile (Put on a smile)

Baby, out here smilin’ like a fool

When the only thing worth smilin’ for

Baby girl, the only thing worth smilin’ for was

You, you, you

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

Oh-oh, tryna fight these tears from cryin’

But Lord knows I’m dyin’ (Put on a smile)

I’m smilin’ like a fool

When the only thing worth smilin’ for

Oh, the only thing worth smilin’ for was

You, you, you

You, you, you, you, you
