Smile Lyrics - Singles - The Chicharones

Verse 1 - Kids Eye View 

JM: Everything is awesome, I smile so often 

get all fired up just seeing a fire truck, 

just skipping to the music backyard playing ball 

all the live long day cause its all great 

Sleep: I couldnt wait to start my day off lace my stadia's up 

hopped over the fence to my neighbors spot 

wake up wake up knock knock invade the layer 

with talks about playing mortal combat all day on Sega 

JM: All my buddies we be down like rail spikes 

t-p your house, put potatoes in tailpipes 

pulling pranks outasite sneaking out at night 

being out all night for me it just feels right 

Sleep: Man I hope Im not last to get picked for kick ball 

cuz if I do Im going back to the crib for Pit Fall 

and Im not coming out till that glorious sound 

of the snow-cone lady coming around! 

CHORUS 

IF YOU SMILE, IT'LL LAST A WHILE 

IT'LL GET YOU THERE, WHEN IT GETS WILD... 

IF YOU SMILE FOR ME, WHEN I LOOK AT YOU 

SO THAT I'LL KNOW , I'M NOT ALONE 

Verse 2 - Runaway Teen 

JM: Back in the days when i was a teenager... 

LSD dealer puttin numbers in my pager 

Starter caps raiders jacket at the mall 

racking gear buying beer yelling yes yes yall 

Sleep: I used to riggity rock pokadots and criggity cross colors 

break out into a dance routinefter I dropped a hot verse 

(no lie)and I laugh about it now 

(i was so high) dont ever think I came back down 

JM: I was learning bout loyalty chilling with my crew 

we be drinking by the traintracks, talking about who you'd do 

jennifer or jessica or hillary or emily 

if you anyone took my girl, 'they were the enemy' 

Sleep 

But these are the days were making memories 

you can't take em away... 

Rolling a bucket while we pass the j, it goes fast away, 

and laughs get cast away if you forget to smile. 

Chorus 

IF YOU SMILE, IT'LL LAST A WHILE 

IT'LL GET YOU THERE, WHEN IT GETS WILD... 

IF YOU SMILE FOR ME, WHEN I LOOK AT YOU 

SO THAT I'LL KNOW , I'M NOT ALONE 

verse 3 - All Growed Up 

JM: I be getting buzzed, rubbed every which way 

and every single day of the year in the mirror 

i get weirder and weirder looking /aging crooked ways/ 

smile/ look at those dog gone grays 

Sleep: Fell fast hit the ground twice 

found out that I didnt know much about life 

the sparkle in my eye reduced to a mood-light 

and friendships turned into sellouts in the moonlight 

JM: And it makes you scared of me... 

you always got somewhere to be 

Your supposed to smile 

when it don't seem fair to me 

Sleep: Its hard to make sense of this madness recreation turns habit 

reconciliation needs to happen 

so i can get some peace for now...and keep reachin out 

sometimes you gotta re-teach yourself how to smile... 

CHORUS 2 

Smile. Better last a while, 

gotta be prepared when it gets wild, 

If you smile for me, i'll sing a song for you... 

so that you'll know...Your not alone.
