Ani Difranco Smiling Underneath Lyrics

Smiling Underneath Lyrics

I don't mind waiting in line, no, no

I don't mind if the bills pile up and the work is slow

I don't mind the gas or the groceries or the grind

Long as I'm with you I'm having a good time



I don't mind the stoner waiter or the poorly cooked food

I don't mind little miss kitty or her knuckle head dude

I don't mind if every last person here is ugly and rude

Long as I'm with you I got good attitude, long as I'm with you



We could be stuck in traffic for over a week

With a car full of quintuplets who are all cutting teeth

And around my neck could be a flaming Christmas wreath

And I'd be smiling under, smiling underneath



I don't mind waking up early for a flight that's delayed

I don't mind our week's vacation was chilly and gray

I don't mind the traffic cops or the TSA

Long as I'm with you I'm having a good day, long as I'm with you



I don't mind spilling my hot sauce onto my white shirt

I don't mind the twinge when I walk in that knee that I hurt

I don't mind if my gums peeling back or my hair getting thin

Long as I'm with you I win, long as I'm with you



We could be stuck in traffic for over a week

With a car full of quintuplets who are all cutting teeth

And around my neck could be a flaming Christmas wreath

And I'd be smiling under, smiling under, smiling underneath
