Why Aren't You Smiling? Lyrics

I just returned from the land of the dead

The worms had left my bones alone

Or so the head worm said

They held a meeting deep down underground

Said they didn't want to be there

When you came around

And why aren't you smiling?

I had to come back into your life

You were looking way too comfortable

To really be my wife

So I hailed a taxi in the pits of Hell

Said "I'm goin' back home, man

Follow that smell!"

And why aren't you smiling at me?

Just because I never stay at home

Doesn't mean I'd really let you

Stay here all alone

So I brought back a bunch of drunken friends

And they'd love to come in

And throw up in the den

And why aren't you smiling?

I'm just kidding, there's no one really there

I just wanted to see you make

That really fed-up glare

Your nose bunches up like you're gonna sneeze

And the fire in your eyes

Knocks me down to my knees

And why aren't you smiling at me?

You used to find me really funny long ago

You used to laugh until you cried

I haven't seen you smile in seven months or so

And no one can say I haven't tried

And why aren't you smiling?

It can't be over, not just yet

See, I gotta watch the Super Bowl

And that's my TV set

Okay, I'm leaving, I'm out the door

Baby, I don't think you have

A sense of humor anymore

And that's why you're shouting

And that's why you're crying

And that's why you're not smiling at me
