Emerson Brophy - Nobody Owes You a Smile

To Rate
Nobody owes you a smile
Nobody owes you a "hi" or "hello"
Even if they know you - or even if they do
Nobody owes you anything at all

They don't have to let you greet their kid or dog
Or even return a little nod
And if you give strangers compliments
They really don't have to thank you
(And probably stop doing that)

If they reciprocate, that's great
They could be having a good day
Or they're just comfortable
With you up in their space
But if they don't react how you want them to
Well, that's great, too!
'Cause that means thеy're good at setting boundaries
With what strangе strangers do

Nobody owes you a smile
Nobody owes you any information on their life
And if I've said something you don't like:
Don't be so uptight - be polite!
And give me a smile
Scatting
