Smile Lyrics - Grinning Streak - Barenaked Ladies

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 

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

I don't mean that that way 

I don't mean that that way
