Lyrics

Say Cheese

Say cheese

That's what I tell myself to say ev'ry time I see her walkin' by

Say cheese

Flash a phony smile, and she'll never suspect that I want to break right down and cry

I've got to play my part

Can't let my teardrops start

Can't let her know that she's breakin' my heart

Say cheese

Even though she hurt me bad, I'll never act sad, I'll strike a happy pose

Say cheese

Paint a pretty picture of a happy man, make sure my heartache never shows

All I've got left is my pride

But I'll do my best to hide

All of the tears that I'm crying inside

Say cheese

Say cheese
