Sam Smith

When I signed my deal
I felt pressure
Don't want to see the numbers
I want to see heaven
You say could you write a song for me
I said I'm sorry I won't do that happily
When I go home
I tend to close the door
I never wanted more
So sing with me
Can't you see
I don't have
Money on my mind
Money on my mind
I do it for
I do it for the love
I don't have
Money on my mind
Money on my mind
I do it for
I do it for the love
I do it for the love
I do it for the love
Please don't get me wrong
I wanna keep it moving
I know what that requires
I'm not foolish
Please can you make this work for me
'Cause I'm not a puppet I will work against your strings
When I go home
I tend to close the door
I never wanted more
So sing with me
Can't you see
I don't have
Money on my mind
Money on my mind
I do it for
I do it for the love
I don't have
Money on my mind
Money on my mind
I do it for
I do it for the love
I do it for the love
I do it for the love
When the sun will set
Don't you fret
No I have no money on my mind
No money on my mind
No money on my mind
No I have have money on my mind
When the sun will set
Don't you fret
No I have no money on my mind
No money on my mind
No money on my mind
No I have have money on my mind
Just love
Money on my mind
Money on my mind
I do it for
I do it for the love
I don't have
Money on my mind
Money on my mind
I do it for
I do it for the love
I do it for the love
I do it for the love

Sam Smith was born on 19th May 1992 and grew up in a rural village on the border of Hertfordshire and Cambridgeshire, the nearest town being Bishops Stortford. They’re the oldest of three siblings and are said to be close to their younger sisters. Their mother is a successful City of London trader and their father a stay-at-home dad who brought up the children.

Smith showed an early talent for singing, and their parents responded by arranging singing lessons from the age of eight with professional jazz singer and songwriter, Joanna Eden. At the early age of seventeen, they left school to pursue their dream, living in a small one-bed flat and working in a London pub, but ended up isolated and beset by loneliness.

Sam knew they were gay, they said, for as long as they could remember. They suffered bullying at school and were shocked to find that even in London—close to gay communities—they were subjected to homophobic attacks. These negative experiences, combined with an inherently emotional nature, inform their songwriting and delivery. The soulful, beautifully rich tone of their voice and the subject of the lyrics ‘speak’ to many people and have led to their success.
