Analysis of Why, why should I?
Alexandria Brinker 2007 (Kansas)
Smile they say,
Why, why should I?
I smile anyway.
Be happy they say,
Why, why should I?
I act happy anyway.
Why should i do anything when it's not me,
when it's not how i feel.
Be pretty they say,
why, why should i?
If you don't think Im pretty, if you don't think i smile enough, if you don't think Im happy. Then Why don't YOU try going through what I've been through, why don't you expirience what I've expireienced.
Smile they say,
Be happy they say,
Be pretty they say...
