A thousand times I’ve said that I
Was having a good time
But there ain’t nothing I can do
I can do with you
And though I keep trying
Why get myself for I’m just
Hiding behind my smile
Pretending I’m the one
Wishing my life away
Hope you come back someday
I may have been a millionaire
Or maybe a sailor
But see me now without you, girl
I’m just a failure
And though I keep trying
Why get myself for I’m just
Hiding behind my smile
Pretending I’m the one
Wishing my life away
Hope you come back someday
Make me, thread me but take me back
That’s how it should be
Take these bad times off my back
Tell me you love me
And though I keep trying
Why get myself for I’m just
Hiding behind my smile
Pretending I’m the one
Wishing my life away
Hope you come back someday
