Got a big bright smile but my days are dark
Hungry till I can barely walk, oh
Don't watch the look on my face, no, no
Doe have no food and my cupboard dry
Only God knows how I get by, oh
Don't watch the look on my face, no
She's the sweetest thing that you've ever seen
Selling her body wasn't in her dreams, no
Don't watch the look on her face, no
Nor because we have a pleasant look
If you no know the story don't judge the book
Pleeease don't- don't watch the look on my face, no
Even though I smile, it is only for a while
Tears could fill the river Nile, but I sweep my troubles underneath my pride
Yes I'm gonna smile, though it's only for a while
Till my worries subside, I will sweep my troubles underneath my pride
Aya (Aya), tell you dey yaw (dey yaw, woi)
Jah won't leave you for an inch, anything you want just call on him
I say Aya, Lord (Aya) tell you me dey yaw, woi (dey yaw)
Fren you ah look, look to him, he will never, ever leave you thick or thin
You think everything cool true me look polite
Notten nor good notten doe alright, no
Don't watch the look on my face
So when you feel like stop just don't give up (don't give up)
You have life so just gwan look up
Jah alone knows the look on my face, oh
So I laugh, smile, my heart cries
No one knows the pain I feel inside
Pleeease don't, don't watch the look on my face, no
Even though I smile, it is only for a while
Tears could fill the river Nile, but I sweep my troubles underneath my pride
Yes I'm gonna smile, though it's only for a while
Till my worries subside, I will sweep my troubles underneath my pride
Aya (Aya), tell you me dey yaw, woi (dey yaw, woi)
Jah won't leave you for an inch, anything you want just call on him
I say Aya (Aya), tell you me dey yaw, woi (dey yaw, woi)
Fren you ah look, look to him, he will never leave you through a thick or thin
Never, oh never
Never, oh never
(Don't watch the look on my face) Don't watch the look on my face
Never, no, never
Ever, don't you ever (no)
Don't you judge me by the look on my face, no
Even though I smile, it is only for a while
My tears could fill the river Nile, but I sweep my troubles underneath my pride
Yes I'm gonna smile, though it's only for a while
All my worries subside, I will sweep my troubles underneath my pride /fade
