Oh, 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?      I need to know this 'cause I notice when you're smilin'   Out in the sun havin' fun and you're feelin' free   And I can tell you know how hard this life can be   But you keep on smilin' for me      What went right? What went wrong?   Was it the story or was it the song?   Was it overnight or did it take you long?   Was knowing your weakness what made you strong?      Or 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, hey, put on a smilin' face      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      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
