Oh, look here fellas
Take it from your uncle Bootsy
Ain't no shame beggin' in the rain
Tell her how you really feel
Ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh
I can pretend when I'm out with my friends
I ain't thinkin' about you
I can pretend like I ain't in my feelings
But that ain't true, nah (nah)
When I called you out your name
That was my ego, my plan and pain
I should be a movie star
The way I play the part
Like everything's okay
Oh, not tryna be the life of the party
Oh, not that, just for everybody
But it's all just a knack
That I can't have you back
Without you runnin', goin' crazy
Tryna put on a smile (put on a smile)
Tryna fight these tears from cryin'
But lord knows I'm dyin', dyin'
Tryna put on a smile, smile (put on a smile)
Ooh, I'm just smilin' like a fool
When the only thing worth smilin' for
Baby girl, the only thing worth smilin' for was
You, you, you
You, you, you, you, you
You
If I could turn back the hands on my rollie, you know I would
I would've spent all my time makin' sure that my baby good
I'm tryin' hard to hide the shame
I know I'm playin' a dangerous game
But since you been gone, I ain't been the same
There's only so much to make off fame
Oh, not tryna be the life of the party
Oh, not that, just for everybody
But it's all just a knack
That I can't have you back
Without you runnin', goin' crazy
Tryna put on a smile (put on a smile)
Tryna fight these tears from cryin'
But lord knows I'm dyin', dyin'
Tryna put on a smile, smile (put on a smile)
Ooh, I'm just smilin' like a fool
When the only thing worth smilin' for
Baby girl, the only thing worth smilin' for
When the only thing worth smilin' for
Baby girl, the only thing worth smilin' for was
You, you, you
I'm tryna put on a smile (put on a smile)
Oh-oh, tryna fight these tears from cryin'
But lord knows I'm dyin' (put on a smile)
I'm smilin' like a fool
When the only thing worth smilin' for
Baby girl, the only thing worth smilin' for
When the only thing worth smilin' for
Oh, the only thing worth smilin' for was
You, you, you
You, you, you, you, you
