Sweet Smiling Children - Johnny Rivers

You tell all the sweet smiling children

About that one great pink candy love

That’s waiting somewhere in the dark

To change our lives and make us all worthwhile

But we already are, you just don’t know it

You tell all the sweet smiling children

That you need your fine hairsprays and combs

Lipsticks, perfumes, fine cars and homes

So that when we find that love it will be true

But is already is, we just don’t know it

Yeah, then you watch all those sweet smiling children

Stumble in the darkness you have made

Looking for the dream that’s never quite there

And cry cause we can’t win the games we play

Ah but you sell a lot of hairspray that way, don’t you?
