paint it on

Richie Kotzen

Come on down
I'm waiting
I've been so down
And I need some truth from you
Cause my time is used and abused

Don't you know I
I've got to paint it on
If I smile I've got to paint it on
When I cry I've got to paint on my tears
It's not that I'm hiding
Oh no, I'm just too stoned

I'm not running
I'm not stuck, oh oh
I have been running through all my youth
That's when we all knew
It's just the same old song
Sad but strong

Don't you know I
I've got to paint it on
If I smile I've got to paint it on
If I cry I've got to paint on my tears
It's not that I'm hiding
Oh no, I'm just stoned

Don't you know I
I've got paint it on
If I smile I've got to paint it on
Can you tell I, I've got the paint on
If I cry I've got to paint it on, my tears

There's no love, no pain or fear
There's no light, no dark, not here
There's no past, no now, no future
I've got the paint on
