I am not gonna make it
I can see the crowd around me
Is getting bigger and as it is
I´m trying to figure out
Why I feel so isolated
I have my friends
But don´t have much time for them
I have my house
And a tiny pocket in my luggage
I have my boyfriend
But he´s also so tired of listening to me
Every single day
Seems like a mountain to climb
Every single word
It takes all my strength to get it out
I´m tired of talking about me
But in fact it´s the only thing
I get a grip on
I feel like I´m not gonna make it
I really feel like I´m not gonna make it
But it might be the best thing
That never happened to me, so now

Hey little girl keep on smiling!!
´Cause they don´t wanna hear you complaining
You´re a lucky girl
Your life is so exciting
So I´ll keep on making bad jokes
´Cause you think I´m strong
And it might be the way you like it
Oh how I need you to like me…

I have tried as hard as I can
I have tried to go through 9 to 5
But I was like a train
Between work and bars
Never found out what I was traveling for
Now I have my car
But I ain´t got no safe place to go
I still hold my drink
But I´m not as thirsty as before
I have my voice
But I heard lately that people
Don´t want to hear sad songs
Every single place
It´s all the same to me
Every single face
I know it will be replaced
But another smiley one
Who will also be left soon
Somewhere behind
I feel like I´m not gonna make it
I really feel like I´m not gonna make it
But it might be the best thing
That never happened to me, so now

Hey little girl keep on smiling!!
´Cause they don´t wanna hear you complaining
You´re a lucky girl
Your life is so exciting
So I´ll keep on making bad jokes
´Cause you think I´m strong
And it might be the way you like it
Oh how I need you to like me…

Please now just don´t count on me
I can´t handle it anymore
And don´t ask me why
If you don´t want me to lie
But don´t be alarmed
Don´t you see that I´m just down
Just don´t worry soon
I´ll be back on the tracks

Smiling!!
´Cause I´ll get tired of complaining
I´m a lucky girl
And I´m doing exactly what I wanted
So I´ll keep on making bad jokes
´Cause I need to be strong
And it might be my only chance to get out of it
And now I really need to make it!!
