When we were young we got too old
We never did what we were told
I can have, and I can hold
But I can't buy what I just sold

[Chorus]
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
If 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

[Chorus]
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
There'll be walls, but I think we could
Knock 'em down for firewood
[Chorus]
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
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

[Outro]
I don't mean that that way
I don't mean that that way
