Mama Winslow – I Can't Smile Lyrics

Lived for a while in a very nice style like a magazine.
Coming on home, like a caesar in rome, to my throne.
Then came a child and oh, what a smile, she was everything.
Two strikes, one spare. Three frames never fared against one.

Cuz I won't cry for you little babies, no.
I can't smile for you little darlings, no.
All the things that we've been through, I can't listen to you.

Years passing by, I was never so high till the boy arrived.
Just yesterday, I was watching him play outside.
But works keeps on stinking, keeps making me think that I hate it hear.
So I'll see the world through the boy and the girl and the wife.

Cuz I won't cry for you little babies, no.
I can't smile for you little darlings, no.
All the things that we've been through, I can't listen to you. No, you don't know me.

Cuz I try.
And I try.
Floodwater blues..today in the news.
These pictures are ruined.
This waters not moving.
I try to behave like I'm some kind of slave, but I won't be wrong no.

Cuz I won't cry for you little babies, no.
I can't smile for you little darlings, no.
All the things that we've been through, I can't listen to you. No, you don't know me.

Once in a while, pick up and dial, no one's around.
Gone goes the home, the kids, my poem: my wife.
But deep down inside, well I know I'm alive and they're loving me.
But "oh, it's so sad" said the boy to his dad and he's right.

Cuz I won't cry for you little babies, no.
I can't smile for you little darlings, no.
All the things that we've been through, I can't listen to you. No, you don't know me.
Cuz I won't cry for you little babies, no.
I can't smile for you little darlings, no.
All the things that we've been through, I can't listen to you.
