Pam Reswick / Taryn Murphy
You’re such a pretty little thing
I don’t know why you wanna be
Wastin’ all your time bein’ so serious
You read, you watch, you think too much
When will you learn to lighten up
Don’t you know that you’re starting to worry us
These are the words a girl
Hears all her life
Taught how to keep herself
Locked inside
Put on a happy face and
Chorus
Smile for the camera
Smile and be glamorous
Hide your pain and anger away
Save your rainy weather for another day
Smile such a pretty girl
Smile you can have the world
Hide your pain and anger away
Won’t you put a smile on that pretty face
Bad mood, bad day, no diplomat
No patience for a game like that
Maybe I’ll just let myself be down
So sorry, oops, almost forgot
The prime directive that I’m not
Not allowed to spoil things with a frown
These are the words I’ve heard
All my life
Taught how to keep myself
Locked inside
Put on a happy face and
Chorus
Bridge:
Look at how cute she is
Sweet little thing
If only she weren’t so serious
