Lyrics

[Verse 1]

But what did you do? What did you say?

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?

[Verse 2]

I need to know this, 'cause I notice you 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 smiling for me

[Verse 3]

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?

[Verse 4]

Or all the above? Oh, how I love to see you smiling

And, oh yeah, take a little pain, just in case

You need something warm to embrace

To help you put on a smiling face

Hey, put on a smiling face

[Verse 5]

Don't you go off into the new day with any doubt

Here's a summary of somethin' that you can 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)

[Verse 6]

I want to be you, whenever I see you smiling

'Cause it's easily one of the hardest things to do (Hardest things to do)

Your worries and fears become your friends

And they end up smiling at you

Put on a smiling face
