Smile & Shy

Intro

Ewa, e choke!

Smile and shy, na so life dey go

Verse 1

I dey smile for the world but inside na real thing

Happy happy but my heart dey do some other ting

Pretty face when I step out on the street

But when you look at me, my eyes dey retreat, abi?

Sometimes I'm the brightest star in the room (star!)

Next minute I'm hiding in my own cocoon

Wetin dey happen to person like me?

Up and down like the go-slow on Lekki, e choke!

Chorus

Smile and shy, smile and shy

Happy but the tears dey dry

Beautiful but I no fit catch your eye

Smile and shy, smile and shy

That's just how I dey pass by

All the feelings e dey inside, omo, why?

Verse 2

One minute I'm the life of the party (yeah!)

Next minute I'm sitting down feeling sorry

They say I'm fine but they no see the weight

Carrying all this up and down, no lie, no debate

I laugh loud but my heart dey whisper soft

I shine bright but I'm scared to take the loss

This ewa wey I carry, sometimes na curse, sha

But I smile through it all, na strength that I nurse

Chorus

Smile and shy, smile and shy

Happy but the tears dey dry

Beautiful but I no fit catch your eye

Smile and shy, smile and shy

That's just how I dey pass by

All the feelings e dey inside, omo, why?

Outro

Smile and shy, that's me

Smile and shy, you see

It's okay, it's alright

Ewa, no cap!
