Paper Smile What’s in a life If you don’t live it, baby It’s just getting on by With a promise, what if, maybe Hanging around Waiting for something to fall And once in a while The paper smile must come a-way What’s in a life If you don’t live it, baby What’s in a kiss If you can’t feel it, baby The lips maybe sweet But are they sweet enough to contain it You’re wasting your time Hanging out of windows painting And once in a while The paper smile must come and go And where it blows Who knows And where it goes It goes I’m glad to see it go I’m glad to see it go And what’s in a dream If you can’t be it, baby Look away, you’re painted smile Look away, you’re painted smile Wipe away your painted smile Wipe away your painted smile Look away you’re painted smile Wipe away your painted smile Painted smile, painted smile Painted smile, painted smile
