Dolph L. Chaney

BIG STUPID GRIN
The politician banks on his fake smile
The advertisers know how grins beguile
They're coming now, for money and for votes
I smile along so I won't rock their boats

my big stupid grin
does me in again

I hear the salesman knocking on my door
I tell him I don't live here anymore
He says to me, while winking knowingly,
"That's all right, sir; you can still buy from me"

Surrounded by a game of confidence
that everybody plays at my expense
I meekly smile and wish it wasn't so
What do you do when you just can't say no?

and stupidly I take a fool's advice
and stupidly I pay more than the price
and now I'm stupidly in love with you -
the smartest thing that I could ever do

my big stupid grin
saves my skin again
