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
