Keep on smiling and you'll keep on winning through and through
Eb Db Cb
And you'll be amazed of the gaze on their faces
Ab Bb
As they sentence you
You don't need a lawyer
When you're in a fix
Someone gets the pay off
Your friends are full of tricks
But happiness is something
That you just can't buy
Own up to the truth girl
You're living with a lie
Sugar daddy, brings you flowers
You can stand him up
And keep him waiting there for hours
And you should just see the look on his face
As you slide down the rail
