Lyrics for Smile as interpreted by skacore_dude

Smile Lyrics
When you first left me
I was wanting more.
But you were fucking that girl next door
What'd you do that for?

When you first left me
I didn't know what to say.
I'd never been on my own that way,
Just slept by myself all day.

I was so lost back then,
But with a little help from my friends
I found the light in the tunnel at the end.
And now you're calling me up on the phone
So you can have a little whine and a moan
It's only because you're feeling alone.

At first when I see you cry
Yeah, it makes me smile.
Yeah, it makes me smile.
At worst I feel bad for awhile
But then I just smile.
I go ahead and smile.

Whenever you see me
You say that you want me back.
And I tell you it don't mean jack,
No it dont mean jack.

I couldn't stop laughing
No I just couldn't help myself.
See you messed up my mental health
I was quite unwell.

I was so lost back then,
But with a little help from my friends
I found the light in the tunnel at the end.
But you're calling me up on the phone
Just to have a little whine and a moan
And it's only because you're feeling alone.

At first when I see you cry
Yeah, it makes me smile.
Yeah, it makes me smile.
At worst I feel bad for awhile
But then I just smile.
I go ahead and smile.

Other commenters have said this before me, but just to reiterate, if you don't like her music then don't why the hell are you even on this lyrics page in the first place? It is pathetic that you are so ignorant as to continually argue over a song. Get over yourself. Yeah, the song's pretty sadistic, so what? She expressing how she feels, that's kinda the point in writing music. Some of you have claimed that she has some sort of "obligation to society." No, she doesn't, you ignoramus. Technically, her only obligation is to sing, but she writes her lyrics too because she wants to express herself. The only musical artists, if any, that have an obligation to society are the ones that pay to have someone else write their lyrics for them because they're too damn stupid to think of their own. Anyway, the point is, she's a music artist. She can sing about whatever she wants. If you're so concerned about setting good examples, got find the lyrics to one of Lil' Wayne's songs and bash his lyrics for being "unjust."

I love this song, it's pretty self-explanatory. She has a break up and everything,
then she gets her chav friends to beat him up and stuff. (a little help from my friends lol)
It definitely pays to be friends with all sorts of people, lol.

This is quite the sadistic song, but the melody sounds so upbeat and happy. It's basically about an ex whom she obviously hates and it brings her pleasure that her ex is miserable.

Okay so maybe this song could be seen as "shallow" but Gosh this is like the story of my freakin' life! This is EXACTLY how I felt today when my ex was all like "I may pretend I don't cry, but i do" and I just bust out laughing. Then I hear this... PROPS LILY ALLEN!!!!!

This song means that, "If you cheat on me, you're gonna regret it!". Lily Allen is trying to say.

When you first left me
I was wanting more.
But you were fucking that girl next door
What'd you do that for?
(when her boyfriend left her, she still loved him, but he was having sex with not really a neighbor, but a desirable girl, usually called a girl next door, and she doesn't understand why.)
When you first left me
I didn't know what to say.
I'd never been on my own that way,
Just slept by myself all day.
(she was confused, sad and depressed. never been alone, so to speak, single.)
I was so lost back then,
But with a little help from my friends
I found the light in the tunnel at the end.
And now you're calling me up on the phone
So you can have a little whine and a moan
It's only because you're feeling alone.
(her friends have helped her get over him, but now after all that he wants forgiveness because this other girl broke up with him or he wants sex, or a 'booty call'.)
At first when I see you cry
Yeah, it makes me smile.
Yeah, it makes me smile.
At worst I feel bad for awhile
But then I just smile.
I go ahead and smile.
(she is taking pleasure in his discontentment, first feeling sorry for him, then remembering what he did to her)
Whenever you see me
You say that you want me back.
And I tell you it don't mean jack,
No it dont mean jack.
(to her he doesn't mean anything anymore. Neither does the fact that he wants her back.)
I couldn't stop laughing
No I just couldn't help myself.
See you messed up my mental health
I was quite unwell.
(she is laughing at him and his sadness, joking that he messed her up.)
I was so lost back then,

haha the music video is so entertaining...someday I def want to pay ppl to beat up my ex. I think this song is all about her old bf who really hurt her and screwed her over. At first she was really upset, but eventually she realized what a jerk he is. Now she just gets revenge by taking pleasure from his pain...

Have a look at the video (if you can find it) and you'll see her in the clip, paying a bunch of people to go and beat up her boyfriend, with her watching from around the corner with a smile on her face

if you all hate the song so much, why the hell are you looking up the lyrics to begin with? possibly because you're a twat with nothing better to be doing? seriously, if you don't like it, don't go look up the lyrics, dumbfucks.




i like it. it's one of my favorite songs by her. the meaning is pretty clear and i'm sure that most girls can relate to the feeling.

I'm pretty sure a lot of girls can relate to this song in one way or another. I definitely can. Not going to try to explain when its meaning is pretty clear.

Lily's amazing, and I love her to death. Her voice is great.

I don't understand people that don't like Lily Allen, yet go find her lyrics just so they can bash them? I reckon those people need to find a life, but thats just me.

Personally, I think this tune is catchy. Its not supposed to be teaching a lesson or giving the cure for cancer. Its a good songs, some people like it, some don't, there's no need to get in huge arguments about it.

i hate this song hear it every day 10 times a day at work, it bored me the first time and it continues to bore me today, and probably she sounds like some chav who brought it all on herself by getting with a chav twat in the first place

First off
You don't like Lily Allen?
Lovely; good for you; people who go to look up the lyrics, probably like her music, so if you don't stop bashing her & her music just because you don't like her, or better yet go make a damn website where you do it, honestly i like Lily Allen, & her music sooo...
GTFO OF THE PAGE YOU TWITS!!!

The lyrics are pretty much to the point. A girl who was left by a man. She ends up getting over him and then when she sees him sad she gets a certain amount of schadefreunde. So much like a million and one break up songs, then.

At worst this has a nice summer-beat feel with pop lyrics. At best it is a catchy song with a twist of guilty pleasure and a theme anybody who has been through an un-wanted break-up can doubtlessly connect with.

i like the sound of this song, but i had to edit the song myself because of the vulgarity in the first verse.

By the way I like the revenge in the video. :D
