Smile (Cover of Lily Allen Song) Lyrics
[RACHEL, (FINN)]
When you first left me I was wantin' more
You were kissing that girl next door
What ya do that for? (What ya do that for?)
[RACHEL & FINN]
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
[RACHEL]
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 callin' me up on the phone
So you can have a little whine and a moan
And it's only because you're feelin' alone
[RACHEL & FINN]
At first, when I see you cry
Yeah, it makes me smile, yeah, it makes me smile
At worst, I feel bad for a while
But then I just smile, I go ahead and smile
[RACHEL]
Whenever you see me, you say that you want me back
When you first left me I was wantin' more
You were kissing that girl next door
What ya do that for? (What ya do that for?)
[RACHEL & FINN]
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
[RACHEL]
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 callin' me up on the phone
So you can have a little whine and a moan
And it's only because you're feelin' alone
[RACHEL & FINN]
At first, when I see you cry
Yeah, it makes me smile, yeah, it makes me smile
At worst, I feel bad for a while
But then I just smile, I go ahead and smile
[RACHEL]
Whenever you see me, you say that you want me back
[FINN]
(Want me back)
[RACHEL]
And I tell you it don't mean jack
[FINN]
(Don't mean jack)
[RACHEL]
No, it don't mean jack
[FINN]
(No, it don't mean jack)
[RACHEL]
I couldn't stop laughing
No, I just couldn't help myself
[FINN]
(Help myself)
[RACHEL & FINN]
See you messed up my mental health
I was quite unwell
(Want me back)
[RACHEL]
And I tell you it don't mean jack
[FINN]
(Don't mean jack)
[RACHEL]
No, it don't mean jack
[FINN]
(No, it don't mean jack)
[RACHEL]
I couldn't stop laughing
No, I just couldn't help myself
[FINN]
(Help myself)
[RACHEL & FINN]
See you messed up my mental health
I was quite unwell
[RACHEL]
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 callin' me up on the phone
So you can have a little whine and a moan
And it's only because you're feelin' alone
[RACHEL & FINN]
At first, when I see you cry
Yeah it makes me smile, yeah it makes me smile
At worst, I feel bad for a while
But then I just smile, I go ahead and smile
[RACHEL & FINN]
