Kirk Van Houten feels…
So I’ve come to ask ya sugar, can I borrow your smile?
I’ve lost a little something,
And it’s been gone for a while,
So I’ve come to ask ya sugar,
Can I borrow your smile?
Sick of my damn frown,
And the dreaded frown lines,
I’m ageing baby,
I’m on the decline.
I’m stretchin’ those lips,
And putting on a brave front,
Pushing through,
Striving to get in front.
I want a real smile,
Not this fake bullshit,
‘Cos nobody likes a sad sack,
And don’t I know it.
So I’ve come to ask ya sugar,
Can I borrow your smile?
‘Cos it’s missing in action,
And been gone for a while.
Never let ‘em see you sweat,
Never let ‘em see you cry,
Put on your happy mask,
There ain’t a tear in my eye.
But it ain’t easy,
Putting on a front,
It ain’t easy,
To bear the brunt.
I’m like Kirk Van Houten,
Beggin’ to borrow a feeling,
But I got plenty of them,
So I gotta focus on my healing.
Gotta stop hiding,
And stop the damn act,
Gotta be real,
‘Cos I’m strong and intact.
So sugar,
It’s been gone for a while,
But somehow or someway,
I gotta get back my smile.
I’ll figure it out,
I’ll learn how to smile once more,
I’ll stretch those lips,
Like never before.
