Lyrics Barenaked Ladies

Barenaked Ladies

Smile

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

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

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
