[Intro: Ariana Grande & Wendy Rene]
(After laughter comes tears)
Na-na-na-na, after (After laughter comes tears)

[Verse 1]
Yeah, another night, another party, sayin' hi to everybody
I'm sorry, it's time to leave, I gotta leave now
Got somewhere I gotta be now, I'm starving
Can somebody walk me to my car?
If I go alone, I'm not gon' make it very far
Happy for the love and all of the above
If I'm being honest, I done been through way too much

[Pre-Chorus]
I can't fake another smile
I can't fake like I'm alright
Woo (Ah), woo (Ah)
And I won't say I'm feeling fine
After what I've been through, I can't lie
Woo, baby (Ah), woo (Ah)

[Chorus]
Fuck a fake smile, smile
Fuck a fake smile, fake smile

[Verse 2]
I read the things they write about me
Hear what they're sayin' on the TV, it's crazy
It's gettin' hard for them to shock me
But every now and then, it's shocking, don't blame me
I know it's the life that I chose
Baby, I'm grateful, I want you to know
I'm happy for the love and all of the above
If I'm being honest, I done been through way too much

[Pre-Chorus]
I can't fake another smile
I can't fake like I'm alright
Woo, baby (Ah, woo), oh (Ah)
And I won't say I'm feeling fine
After what I been through, I can't lie
Baby, yeah (Ah, woo)
Let's go

[Chorus]
Fuck a fake
Fuck a fake

[Bridge]
Say, if I'm hurt, I ain't gon' lie about it
Arms crossed with the attitude, lips pouted
If I'm mad, I ain't gon' lie about it
Neck roll with the attitude, yuh
(If I'm hurt, I ain't gon' lie about it)
(Arms crossed with the attitude, lips pouted)
(If I'm mad, I ain't gon' lie about it)
(Neck roll with the attitude, yuh)

[Pre-Chorus]
Said I can't fake (Another smile)
Another smile (I can't fake like I'm alright)
Woo (Ah, woo), said oh (Ah)
(And I won't say I'm feeling fine)
I'm feeling fine (After what I've been through, I can't lie)
Woo, Dublin
Put one hand up in the sky, come on

[Chorus]
Fuck a fake smile, smile
Fuck a fake smile (Fake), smile (Yeah)

Ariana Grande (born Grande-Butera on June 26, 1993) is an actress and a pop vocalist from Boca-Raton, Florida. She had performed in many plays as a child but didn’t make a significant dent in her dream to become an R&B star until being cast as a cheerleader in the Broadway musical 13, earning a National Youth Theatre Association Award for her performance.

Soon after, she was able to land a role in the Nickelodeon hit TV series, Victorious, which propelled her to become a teen idol as her on-screen character seemed to be “very impressionable and easily swayed” but “generally sweet.” From this point on, she was able to garner the fan base that allowed her to create tracks that worked only towards the promotion of the show, like “Put Your Hearts Up.”

She would have to wait until August 2012 to see the cancellation of Victorious, which allowed Grande to finally make music her priority. With her life now revolving entirely around this passion, she was able to release her debut album, Yours the result of a three-year endeavor. She completed the album, initially titled Daydreamin, in June 2013; it was released on August 19, 2013. In September 2013, it debuted at No. 1 on the US Billboard 200 albums chart, with 138,000 copies sold in its first week, making Grande the first female artist since Ke$ha to have her first album debut atop the charts.
