Smile! from Begrudgingly Behavin' by Misbehavin' Maidens

Maybe you think you’re clever
Or maybe you think it’s cute
But we are just perfect strangers
So you come off like a brute

And I’m just trying to get to work now
So, excuse me if I’m not contrite
But I’ve never met you before, sir
and you don't know it but you're starting a fight

Chorus:
Please don’t ask me to smile
Please don’t tell me to cheer up
Cuz this is my face and it isn’t your place to tell me how
I should use it
No don’t ask me to smile
Because it isn’t kind, it’s creepy
I just wanna be me
Angry, sad or carefree and
I'm fine with me
So I don’t see a need to excuse it

I’ve got a pretty cancerous puppy
And my mom and my dad just died
I’m sorry if I don’t seem happy
But I’ll try to look on the bright side

But I lost all my things in that house fire
And I haven’t pooped in a week
I think my boyfriend’s dating the mailman
So my tolerance is reaching its peak

[Chorus]

Bridge:
I don’t care if I’m pretty
I don’t care if I’m cute
I’m not looking to flirt
I’m no sweetheart to you
You may be funny
And you may be sweet
But right now you kinda sound like a creep

[Chorus]

My cat was abducted by aliens
And my car is infested with bees
I’ll try to remember the good times
Like when I got that kidney disease

And I’m apparently allergic to coffee
And my sister just got killed by bear
I’m sorry if I seem so distracted
But I just found out I’m losing my hair

[Chorus]
