Just to see you smile I'd do anything That you wanted me to And all is said and done I'd never count the cost It's worth all that's lost You always had an eye for things that glittered But I was far from bein' made of gold I don't know how but I scraped

Memories of everything Of lemon trees on mercury And come to me with remedies From five or six of seven seas And you always took me with a smile When I was down That blew through Sit up straight I'm on a double date

Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh They hear you when you cry This love is far and wide When you smile the stars align Flower of the universe And child of mine They come to see the fire burning In your heart

You ain't never run off with a hustler in your life, huh? I'm from 1800, I'm a hot boy, but I'm iced up Ugly corner where we smile with you and we don't like you Just hopped off the plane I just got out about a day ago Everybody love me, when they see me

Who gon' ride wit' me? And gon' ride wit' me? Yeah, death before dishonor but you lied to me, dang Yeah, from the cracks and the holes in the pavement Ain't no hope for the youth, Lord, save me Gotta smile through it even though you hate it All I ask is

Build me a girl I promise I will always adore you Made in Japan, with style of Milan and a smile from California Brazilian walk, hair from New York, pretty Parisian curls Brazilian walk, hair from New York and pretty Parisian curls I was nearly a soul

Oh oh oh oh ho oh Happy alone Sharing a smile So far from home I want in like a substitute I've been working awful hard for you But you don't say, you just hold your breath So I can't touch what I haven't yet She's a cold one and it hurts me so

Sh-sh-shaken She looks at you Like I used to And I'm just sittin' in the corner I thought only I Would get that smile Now I'm just watchin' from the corner And it feels like I'm watchin' Somebody else live my life

Run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run You better make your face up in Your favorite disguise With your button down lips and your Roller blind eyes With your empty smile And your hungry heart Feel the bile rising from your guilty past With your nerves in

Bright smile dark eyes Now my work is done I feel I'm owed some joy Oh Imogene and Abelard I'm your homeward boy But there's another one Who brings me to your door And the boat she weaved from the tidal reeds
