Paul Weller - Paper Smile lyrics

Paper Smile

What's in a life

If you don't live it, baby

It's just getting on by

With a promise, what if, maybe

Hanging around

Waiting for something to fall

And once in a while

The paper smile must come a-way

What's in a life

If you don't live it, baby

What's in a kiss

If you can't feel it, baby

The lips maybe sweet

But are they sweet enough to contain it

You're wasting your time

Hanging out of windows painting

And once in a while

The paper smile must come and go

And where it blows

Who knows

And where it goes

It goes

I'm glad to see it go

I'm glad to see it go

And what's in a dream

If you can't be it, baby

Look away, you're painted smile

Look away, you're painted smile

Wipe away your painted smile

Wipe away your painted smile

Look away you're painted smile

Wipe away your painted smile

Painted smile, painted smile

Painted smile, painted smile
