Molly Nilsson - Sweet Smell of Success lyrics

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
Couldn't get any better, I guess
The sweet smell of success
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 favorite lie
At home when we’re retired
We’ll finally get to cry
Of all my little lies
This is my favorite lie
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
