Lyrics The Jezabels

The Jezabels

Smile

You can call me sexy

Call me sexy if you want to

Whisper in my ear and tell me

All the things you want to do

You can whistle at me

On the street where I am walking

Ask me "How's your daddy?

What you up to? Where you going?"

You can turn me on

I'm hardly incorruptible

With things I might say yes to

Bit of banter's quite enough

Don't need to be an intellectual

We can have a little thrill

Share with me your stories

'Bout your life

What you're dreaming of

You can turn me on

I've only got one rule

Don't tell me to smile

Don't tell me to smile

Don't tell me to smile

If you don't know me, brother

You don't know me

I don't know you

You know, I get my problems

Just like anybody else does

When I might not looks as

Whoopty-fucking-do as you may like it, but

I'll come to your party

If you happen to invite me

We can all get out of our minds

Oh, turn me on (You can turn me on)

Come and turn me on (But you should know I don't)

Don't care what band you play for

Or how good you look

If I'm minding my own

Don't tell me to smile

Don't tell me to smile

Don't tell me to smile

If you don't know me, brother

Don't tell me to smile

Don't ask why I frown

Don't tell me to smile

When, for all you know I just buried my mother

I've been burying my mother

For eternity

It has been over and over

You don't know me

Don't tell me to smile

Don't ask why I frown

Don't tell me to smile

I'll take you down

I'll take you down

I'll take you down

Don't ask why I frown

I'll take you down

I'll take you down

Don't tell me to smile
