If you need a second chance,
here’s your shot
See this beautiful mess
it’s all I’ve got
Couldn’t get any better I guess
The sweet smell of success
couldn’t get any better I guess
In some quiet town
young and promising
Didn’t keep any promise at all
Your friends all loved the clown
Glad I made you laugh
with a joke that I can’t recall
The sweet smell of success
couldn’t get any better I guess
The sweet smell of success
couldn’t get any better I guess
Of all my little lies, this is my favourite life
At home when we’re retired we’ll finally get to cry
Of all my little lies, this is my favourite life
At home when we’re retired we’ll finally get to cry
Couldn’t get any better I guess
couldn’t get any better I guess
couldn’t get any better I guess
Alone at some old show
I’m not letting go
I’ve got no baby at home
I’m not finished
Couldn’t get any better I guess
couldn’t get any better I guess
The sweet smell of success
The sweet smell of success
(Always expecting it, but never dressed for it
Never respected it but won’t admit to it)
The sweet smell of success
