Painted Smile

I can sing

I can dance

Just give me a chance

To do my turn for you

There's a change I'll slip

But with stiff upper lip

I'll sing a song for you

Laughter is free

But it's so hard to be a jester

All the time

And no one's believing

I'm the same when I'm bleeding

And I hurt all the time deep inside

I've shed a tear for the lying

While everyday trying to

Paint this smile for you

Backflips, cartwheelings

Somersault feelings

What is there left to do

Laughter is free

But it's so hard for me

A jester all the time

No one's believing

I'm the same when I'm bleeding

And I hurt all the time deep inside

Roll up, roll up

Enjoy the show

Pick me up, wind me up, put me down

You'll see me go

And this painted smile

May miss for a while

Then come back and steal your show

I sing, I dance

Give me a change to do my turn for you

With backflips, cartwheelings

Somersault feelings

What's there left to do

Laughter is free

But it's so hard to be a jester

All the time

No one's believing

I'm the same when I'm bleeding

And I hurt all the time deep inside

Laughter is free

But it's so hard to be a jester

All the time

No one's believing

I'm the same when I'm bleeding

And I hurt all the time deep inside
