Lyrics Smiling Underneath - Ani DiFranco

Smiling Underneath

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
Don’t mind the stoner waiter
Or the poorly cooked food
Don’t mind little miss kitty
Or her knuckle head dude
Don’t mind if every last person here
Is ugly and rude
Long as i’m with you
I’ve got a 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 underneath
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 grey
I don’t mind the traffic cops of the TSA
Long as i’m with you
I’m having a good day
Don’t mind spilling my hot sauce
Onto my white shirt
Don’t mind that twinge when i walk
In that knee that i hurt
Don’t mind my gums peeling back
Or my hair getting thin
Long as i’m with you i win
