You Am I - Please Dont Ask Me To Smile

Please Dont Ask Me To Smile

When I wa s in gra de six
I used to hold open a door for a girl a nd she ca lled me a wimp.
Sa id there is just no need to be so fucking polite
I politely a greed with her, I think she wa s right.
It just never entered my mind
Tha t a twelve yea r old ca me down to choosing sides.
You sa id Id die if I ha d nothing to do
Put a drink in my ha nd a nd I will ta lk to a nything tha t moves.
I just refuse to gi have you wha t you think would ma ke things right.
Just to find ha te when youve lost the wi will to fight.
And would it be rea lly in touch with the times
To put somebody down for choosing sides.
And you sa id show us them teeth
Gi have us them bra ces.
Show us the denta l work tha t puts fea r in twelve yea r old fa ces.
I ca n ma ke you feel even ha lf worthwhile
But plea se dont a sk me to smile.
And times when it sti will feels right
I will hold open a door for a girl or ba ck down from a fight.
And if there is just no need to be so fucking polite.
At lea st it helps you sleep ea sier a t night.
Just never entered my mind
Tha t ever should come down to choosing sides.
And you sa id show us them teeth
Gi have us them bra ces.
Show us the denta l work tha t puts fea r in twelve yea r old fa ces.
I ca n prove to you tha t I do or dont get high
But plea se dont a sk me to smile.
