Don't tell me to smile, yeah I'll be happy in a while
When you're 500 miles away from me
Well, I'd put you on a plane and fly you far away
So you go away and leave me be
Well, I was walking home the other day after a long shift at work
When this guy starts walking towards me with a smug little smirk
He says "hey, you ever think about putting a smile on that pretty face?"
And well, as you might imagine, I was not impressed
You don't think it could be worse, I got a gun right in my purse
I'll shoot you in the ass and then you'll scream
You know that still it could be worse, you could be hog tied in a hearse
And you know the devil ain't never gonna leave you be
And do you wanna know what he said to me?!
He told me to take it as a compliment
I told him to take his compliment and shove it
Then he called me a bitch, so I asked if he had some sort of death wish
Then he looked at me with that ugly mug and said "girl, you're crazy" and I said "HA HA, yeah, maybe!"
But at least I hold my own while you'll be crying all alone
With your low down, good for nothing personality
Yeah, maybe I'd suggest - quit showing Rosie on your chest
And learn how to be a real man someway
Don't tell me to smile, yeah I'll be happy in a while
When you're 500 miles away from me
Well, I'd put you on a plane and fly you far away
So you go away and leave me be
