Verse 1

Sometimes I sit at home

And wonder how it'd be

If he had loved me

Truly loved me, yes

I learned a while ago

The kind of thing

Never happens for me

And so I go around

And just pretend

Love is not for me

B-section 1

I play the circus clown around my friends

Make them laugh and they won't see

That you never let them see you sweat

Don't want them to think the pain runs deep

Lord knows it's killing me

Chorus

So I put on my make-up

Put a smile on my face

And if anyone asks me

Everything is okay

I'm laughing 'cause no one

Knows the joke is on me

'Cause I'm dying inside

With my pride and a smile

On my face

On my face

Sing it la-la, la

(La-la, la-la)

La, la

(La-la, la-la, la-la)

La-la

(Lala)

Oh

(la-la, la-la)

Verse 2

Sometimes I sit at home

By the phone

Hoping he might call me

(Call me)

But he don't call me

(Call me, call me, call me)

But then I realize

Dreams come true

Aren't for girls like me

Not like me

B-section 2

And so I go around with my head up

Like it ain't no thing

And when the boys around with all my friends

I'm into other things

Because you never let them see you sweat

Don't want them to think the pain runs deep

Lord knows it's killing me

Chorus

And so I put on (my make-up)

Put it on, put it on

(Put a smile on my face)

A smile on my face

(And if anyone asks me)

Oh yeah

(Everything is okay)

Oh I'm laughing ('cause no one)

No one, no one

(Knows the joke is on me)

'Cause I'm dying inside

With my pride and a smile

On my face

On my face

Bridge

It's not an easy

(Thing to do)

Sometimes it's hard to

(Face the truth)

It's not the life that I would choose

(I would choose)

But what else can I do?

If he don't love me, no

If he don't want me

I'm not about to sit around

Let myself

(Go)

Go

Chorus

So I put on my make-up

(Put a smile on my face)

I put smile on my face

(And if anyone asks me)

Everything is okay

(Everything is okay)

Oh I'm laughing ('cause no one)

No one, no one

(Knows the joke is on me)

But I'm dying inside

('Cause I'm dying inside)

With my pride

(With my pride)

And a smile

(And a smile)

On my face

On my face

Sing it la-la, la

(La- la, la-la)

La-la

(La-la, la-la, la-la)

La-la

(La-la, la-la

La-la, la-la)

Love keeps singing la-la, la

(La-la, la-la-la, la-la, la-la-la,

La-la, la-la, la-la)

La-la

(La-la, la-la, la-la, la-la)

Love keeps singing la-la, la

(La-la, la-la

La-la, la-la, la-la)

La-la, la-la, la

(La-la, la-la, la-la, la-la)

Love keeps singing la-la, la

(La-la, la-la)

Ooo

(La-la, la-la, la-la)

La-la, la

(La-la, la-la, la-la)

Love keeps singing la-la
