When you first left me, I was wanting more
You were kissing that girl next door
What'd you do that for (What'd you do that for?)
When you first left me, I didn't know what to say
I never been on my own that way, just sat by myself all day

I was so lost back then
But with a little help from my friends
I found a light in the tunnel at the end
Now you're calling me up on the phone
So you can 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 my smile
At worst, I feel bad for a while
But then I just smile, I go ahead and smile

Whenever you see me, you say that you want me back (want me back)
And I tell you it don't mean jack (don't mean jack)
No, it don't mean jack (no, it don't mean jack)
I couldn't stop laughing, no, I just couldn't help myself (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 a 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
And it's only because you're feeling alone

At first, when I see you cry
Yeah, it makes me smile, yeah, it makes my smile
At worst, I feel bad for a while
But then I just smile, I go ahead and smile

La-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la
La-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la
La-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la

At first, when I see you cry (see you cry)
Yeah, it makes me smile (makes me smile), yeah, it makes my smile (makes me smile)
At worst, I feel bad for a while (feel bad for a while)
But then I just smile (but then I just smile), I go ahead and smile (go ahead and smile)

At first, when I see you cry (see you cry)
Yeah, it makes me smile (makes me smile), yeah, it makes my smile (yeah, makes me smile)
At worst, I feel bad for a while (feel bad for a while)
But then I just smile (smile), I go ahead and smile (go ahead and smile)
