Smile Lyrics

[Intro]
Ooh, ooh, ooh

[Verse 1]
I don't need to talk about the world alright
I just want to sleep with a smile tonight

I don't want to talk about the hungry people
People down and out, sleep when the sun goes down
When I wake up early in the morning
I don't watch the news, I just wake up with a smile by you
And I don't want to talk about the war
I just want to smile and smile some more

[Chorus]
We watched the sun come up
But take it down, to hide it
Seems like the spring has come and gone
Felt like forever


[Verse 2]
I don't want to talk about the world alright
I just want to sleep with a smile tonight
I don't want to talk about the hungry people
People down and out, sleep when the sun goes down
When I wake up early in the morning
I don't watch the news, I just get up with a smile by you
And I don't want to talk about the war
I just want to smile and smile some more

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

About

Genius Annotation

“Smile” is a reflection on the album as a whole. It’s about the narrator deciding to actively ignore all the questions and arguments he imposed throughout the album, and just to be happy and not question them, despite these thoughts.
