For A Simple Smile

I had to be funny Like a crazy monkey I had to crawl slowly Like a dragon on a tall tree To extract a simple smile From you, in style. I had to juggle a few balls Like a clown in countless shopping malls I had to make a weird noise Like a mighty sparrow on pause For a simple smile For a lady, in style. For a simple smile I had to do everything in style Under the smoldering sun Under the brightest moon A smile is a very beautiful thing Woman, for that, I'll do almost anything.
