  • But what did you do
    What did you say
    Oh did you walk or did you run away
    Where are you know
    Where have you been
    Did you go alone or did you bring a friend

    I need to know this
    Coz I noticed I'm just smiling
    How can the sun
    Have any fun
    Feeling free

    And I can tell you know how hard this life can be
    But you keep on smiling for me

    So what went right
    What went wrong
    Was it a story or was it a song
    Was it over night
    Or did it take you long
    Was knowing your weakness what made you strong

    For all the above
    Oh how I love to see you smiling
    An oh yeah
    Take a little pain just in case

    You need something want to embrace
    To help you put on a smiley face
    Face
    Smiley face

    Don't you go off into the new day without getting down
    Here's a summary of something you get sad about
    Say for instance my girlfriend she, bugs me all the time
    But the irony of it all is that she loves me all the time
    Oh see

    I believe
    Whenever I see you smiling
    'Cause excuse me
    One of the hardest things to do
    Your worries and fears become your friends
    And they end up smiling at you
