Lyrics Barenaked Ladies – Smile

Verse 1
When we were young, we got too old
Never did what we were told
I can have and I can hold

Chorus
Smile, won’t you, won’t you smile?
Haven’t seen it for a while
Stay, won’t you, won’t you stay?
I don’t mean that that way

Verse 2
We had fun, so time went fast
You don’t hop on; it goes right past
The water’s high; it’s overcast
You’re a rotten egg if you’re in last

Chorus

Bridge
Love, tell me that I’m wrong
And I’ll leave you with this song
But please do come along
And bring your smile with you

Verse 3
So raise a glass to all that’s good
To everything that we withstood
And there’ll be walls, but I think we could
knock ’em down, and for firewood

Chorus (x2)
I don’t mean that that way
I don’t mean that that way
I don’t mean that that way
