“Smile on Cue” lyrics
I can smile on cue with my heart in two
Six a.m. call time, coffee in a cup
Makeup girl says, "Honey, you look beat up"
I say "Didn't sleep," I don't tell her why
I don't tell her that I cried till the morning light
Then the red light's on and I'm a pro
Twirling in the sequins like I'm in a show
Everybody's cheering, everybody's loud
And I'm dying inside for the crowd
Lights, camera
Lights, camera
Nobody's wiser
I can smile on cue with my heart in two
Hit my mark and sing it through
Nobody knows, nobody knew
I can smile on cue with my heart in two
Smile, smile
(Say cheese)
Smile, smile
Smile, smile
(Say cheese)
Smile, smile
Interview at noon, they ask about love
I say "It's great," I say "Can't get enough"
Answer every question with a pretty face
Nobody can tell that I'm out of place
Dancers in the wings and the confetti falls
I'm the happiest girl in the concert halls
Then I get to the hotel and I lock the door
And I lie on the carpet on the floor
Lights, camera
Lights, camera
Nobody's wiser
I can smile on cue with my heart in two
Hit my mark and sing it through
Nobody knows, nobody knew
I can smile on cue with my heart in two
And I'm fine
I'm so fine
Five, six, seven, eight
I'm fine
Hit the mark
I can smile on cue with my heart in two
Hit my mark and sing it through
Nobody knows, nobody knew
I can smile on cue with my heart in two
I can smile on cue with my heart in two
Nobody's wiser
I can smile on cue with my heart in two
I can smile on cue with my heart in two
Smile, smile
(Say cheese)
Smile, smile
Smile, smile
(Say cheese)
Smile, smile
I can smile on cue with my heart in two
I can smile on cue with my heart in two
Smile
I can smile on cue with my heart in two
I can smile on cue with my heart in two
Smile, smile
(Say cheese)
Smile, smile
Smile, smile
(Say cheese)
Smile, smile
