LILY ALLEN - SMILE
When You First Left Me I Was Wanting More
But You Were Fucking That Girl Next Door
What'cha Do That For
When You First Left Me I Didn't Know What To Say
I Never Been On My Own That Way, Just Sat By Myself All Day
I Was So Lost Back Then
But With A Little Help From My Friends
I Found A Light In The Tunnel At The End
Now You're Calling Me Up On The Phone
So You Can Have A Little Whine And A Moan
And It's Only Because You're Feeling Alone
At First When I See You Cry
Yeah It Makes Me Smile, Yeah It Makes My Smile
At Worst I Feel Bad For A While
But Then I Just Smile I Go Ahead And Smile
Whenever You See Me You Say That You Want Me Back
And I Tell You It Don't Mean Jack, No It Don't Mean Jack
I Couldn't Stop Laughing, No I Just Could Help Myself
See You Messed Up My Mental Health I Was Quite Unwell
I Was So Lost Back Then
But With A Little Help From My Friends
I Found A Light In The Tunnel At The End
Now You're Calling Me Up On The Phone
So You Can Have A Little Whine And A Moan
And It's Only Because You're Feeling Alone
At First When I See You Cry
Yeah It Makes Me Smile, Yeah It Makes My Smile
At Worst I Feel Bad For A While
But Then I Just Smile I Go Ahead And Smile
Lalalalalalalalalalalalalalalala Lalala
At First When I See You Cry
Yeah It Makes Me Smile, Yeah It Makes My Smile
At Worst I Feel Bad For A While
But Then I Just Smile I Go Ahead And Smile
Lalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalala
