| All the time you dealt with love, it never seemed to love you much at all
All the friends you had to spare, never could have saved you from the fall
And you wonder when it’s late at night if anything is worth the fighting for
And you light another cigarette and wonder what else God has left in store
And then you smile
She’ll make you smile
You meet a girl that’s pretty sweet, and pretty soon she’s got you off your head
You start to realize your mind is stuttering on words that she has said
And you wonder what you need to do, ‘cause you’re pretty sure she’s wanting something more
And you really want to be with her, but there’s still just so much pain you can’t ignore
But then she makes you smile
She makes you smile
She makes you smile
She makes you smile
She turns to you with bloodshot eyes, you notice that the hour is getting late
You think about the way things go, you try not to believe it must be fate
And you wonder as she turns to leave if you should be more scared or more relieved
And you try your best to say goodnight, but it’s harder, harder than you would ever have believed
‘Cause she makes you smile again
She makes you smile again, and again, and over and again
She makes you smile again
She makes you smile
All the time you dealt with love, it never seemed to love you much till now

| Young lady walkin on down the street
She says bad things to all the kids that I meet
She says don’t touch me, get back into the heat
My baby loves me from my head to my feet
And you know, my baby loves me for me
Yeah, my baby loves me for me
My baby loves me,
Yeah, you know she makes me complete
I make my living walking out in the sun
I gotta talk to almost everyone
I sweat and slave until the day is done
My baby loves me cause I still have fun
Yeah, you know, my baby gets me undone
Yeah, my baby gets me undone
My baby loves me,
Yeah, you know she says I’m the one
Ins
Some woman talking trying to make me cry
She tries to get control of what’s in my mind
She says I better better get in line
She wants to keep me down all of the time
But I don’t mind, my baby keeps me in line
My baby keeps me in line
My baby loves me,
Yeah, you know she treats me alright
And you know, my baby kisses me sweet
Yeah, my baby kisses me sweet
My baby loves me,
Yeah, you know she loves me for me

| You wear that dress from your picture
And I'll wear a suit and tie
And we'll go away for the weekend
Escape to the hills and sky
Picture a house by the lakeside
And cut to a clear blue sky
Fade to a scene from the movies
With some other, more handsome guy
'Cause everybody needs the kind of daydream
That makes it hard to stay inside
And everybody wants to throw the rules away and try
And everybody wants to go with instinct
And never have to come down from that high
Everybody has to wonder sometime how to fly
You bring the book from that weekend
And I'll help you understand
We'll find a cabin to hole up in
In some winter wonderland
You try to cope with the romance
While I keep the fire fanned
I'll make you breakfast and dinner
If you keep our lunches planned
'Cause everybody wants a cheesy love song
To make them laugh when they feel down
And everybody needs another reason to stick around
Everybody wants to hear the music
When it's from another lovesick clown
And everybody knows the way I feel when you come around
You try to throw me a party
And I'll try to play real dumb
And you can pretend you believe me
And we can just have some fun
And I can pretend I don't notice
When you look at me and grin
It's all just a part of the process
And we'll do it all again
'Cause everybody wants a cheesy love song
To make them laugh when they feel down
And everybody needs another reason to stick around
Everybody wants to hear the music
When it's from another lovesick clown
And everybody knows the way I feel when you come around

| I wear no cross around my neck
No thorny crown adorns my brow
No privilege I recollect
I stay within the here and now
You try to tell me that you wish me well
But I know you're only wishing I was burning in hell
Oh, Mama, don't you quote that book
Oh, Daddy, don't you give me that look
You know who you want your child to be,
But don't you know your baby's just as bad as me?
You think it's me for whom tolls the bell
You think you're going up to heaven,
But I'll see you in hell
You think I am the devil in disguise
There is no cure for my disease
But nobody sees me through your eyes
They know you want to watch me bleed
You think your daughter made a big mistake,
But I think you've got some of your own advice to take
Oh, Mama, don't you quote that book
Oh, Daddy, don't you give me that look
You know who you want your child to be,
But don't you know your baby's just as bad as me?
You think it's me for whom tolls the bell
You think you're going up to heaven,
But I'll see you in hell
You try to drive me from your daughter's life
You hurt her worse than I could ever do if I tried
You judge me 'cause my money's tight
While she's out gettin' wasted every Saturday night
I know you think I have a common touch
I know you think I won't amount to much
You can't convince me that you care for me
Too busy sayin' how I ought to be
Yeah, well, Mama, who's laughing now?
You say I'm no good for your daughter,
And I say I'm damn proud.
Oh, Mama, don't you quote that book
Oh, Daddy, don't you give me that look
You know who you want your child to be,
But don't you know your baby's just as bad as me?
You think it's me for whom tolls the bell
You think you're going up to heaven,
But I'll see you in hell.
