Smiling Underneath - Ani DiFranco

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
