[Verse 1]
If you should see me and I'm smiling
Don't think my smile is for real
No expression could explain
How much my heart's in pain
Since you left me here's how I feel
[Chorus]
My smile is just a frown
Turned upside down
Just a frown
Turned upside down, yeah
[Verse 2]
But each time when I'm alone
Teardrops start to fall
My tears erase the life that's on my face
Cause it's really not a smile at all
[Chorus]
[Solo]
[Verse 3]
Oh and if by chance you hear me laughing
I only laugh to fool the crowd
Just like Pagliacci did
I'll keep my sadness hid
And to do this I'll laugh, I'll lie
[Outro Chorus]
My smile is just a frown, yeah
Turned upside down
I may look happy when smile
But really all the while
My smile is just a frown, yeah, yeah
Turned upside down
I may appear to wear a grin
But really deep within
My smile is just a frown, oh, oh
