Lyrics

[Verse]
But what did you do? what did you say?
Or did you walk - or did you run away?
Where are you now? where have you been?
Did you go alone - or did you bring a friend?

[Hook #1]
I need to know this - cause I've noticed that you're smiling
Out in the sun, havin' fun, and feelin' free
And I can tell you know how hard this life can be
But you keep on smilin' for me

[Verse]
What went right? what went wrong?
Was it a story - or was it a song?
Was it overnight - or did it take you long?
Was knowing your weakness what made you strong?

[Hook #2]
For all the above - oh how I love to see you smilin'
And oh yeah - take a little pain just in case
You need something warm to embrace
To help you put on a smilin' face
Heey, put on a smilin' face

Bridge
Don't you go off into the new day with any doubt
Here's a summary of somethin' that you could smile 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)

[Hook #3]
I want to be you - whenever I see you smilin'
Cause it's easily one of the hardest things to do
Your worries and fears become your friends
And they end up smilin' at you
Put on a smilin' face
