Barenaked Ladies - Smile Lyrics

When we were young, we got too old
Never did what we were told
I can have and I can hold
But I can't buy what I just sold


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

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



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

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


I don't mean that that way
I don't mean that that way
I don't mean that that way
