Enuff Z'Nuff - 5 Smiles Away lyrics

Tami's just a little girl Who loves herself and hates the world And everyday she takes a pill To calm her head and keep her still And hoping the day is gonna come When she don't need one It's only five smiles away To the border The light'll shine the way It's only five smiles away To be heaven's daughter And I hope you find the way Tami got a job at Redd's To buy her food and cigarettes But when her kitty had to eat yeah that would take another feat Sometimes she cries in her sleep It's running so deep It's only five smiles away To the border I hope you find the way It's only five smiles away To be heaven's daughter And I hope you find the way In this great big world Can eat you up alive For a pretty girl It's harder to survive When all the wolves They stalk you like you're prey You'd better find yourself Or find yourself a new day May take a little time To keep the paint inside the lines There'll always be a special leap A pretty smile, a friend to meet, yeah And when Valentine's Day didn't come There couldn't be one
