Oh, look here fellas
Take it from your uncle Bootsy
Aingt no shame begging 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 aingt thinking about you
I can pretend like I aingt in my feelings
But that aingt 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 running, going crazy
Tryna put on a smile (put on a smile)
Tryna fight these tears from crying
But lord knows I'm dying, dying
Tryna put on a smile, smile (put on a smile)
Ooh, I'm just smiling like a fool
When the only thing worth smiling for
Baby girl, the only thing worth smiling 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 making sure that my baby good
I'm trying hard to hide the shame
I know I'm playing a dangerous game
But since you been gone, I aingt 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 running, going crazy
Tryna put on a smile (put on a smile)
Tryna fight these tears from crying
But lord knows I'm dying, dying
Tryna put on a smile, smile (put on a smile)
Ooh, I'm just smiling like a fool
When the only thing worth smiling for
Baby girl, the only thing worth smiling for
When the only thing worth smiling for
Baby girl, the only thing worth smiling for was
You, you, you
I'm tryna put on a smile (put on a smile)
Oh-oh, tryna fight these tears from crying
But lord knows I'm dying (put on a smile)
I'm smiling like a fool
When the only thing worth smiling for
Baby girl, the only thing worth smiling for
When the only thing worth smiling for
Oh, the only thing worth smiling for was
You, you, you
You, you, you, you, you
