[Verse 1: CeeLo Green]
What did you do? What did you say?
Did you walk or did you run away?
Where are you now? Where have you been?
Did you go alone or did you bring a friend?

[Chorus: CeeLo Green]
I need to know this 'cause I noticed that you're smilin'
Out in the sun, havin' fun and feelin' free
And I can tell you know how hard this life can be
But you keep on smilin' for me

[Refrain: Menta Malone & Tomika Walden]
Girl, let me smile at you
Girl, let me smile at you

[Verse 2: CeeLo Green]
What went right? What went wrong?
Was it a story or was it a song?
Was it overnight or did it take you long?
Was knowing your weakness what made you strong?

[Chorus: CeeLo Green]
Or all the above? Oh, how I love to see you smilin'
And, oh yeah, take a little pain, just in case (Take it just in case)
You need something warm to embrace
To help you put on a smilin' face
Hey, put on a smilin' face

[Refrain: Menta Malone & Tomika Walden]
Girl, let me smile at you
Girl, let me smile at you

[Bridge: CeeLo Green & Menta Malone & Tomika Walden]
Don't you go off into the new day with any doubt
Here's a summary of somethin' that you could smile about
Say, for instance, my girlfriend, she bugs me all the time
But the irony of it all is that she loves me all the time (Ooh, see?)

[Chorus: CeeLo Green]
I want to be you whenever I see you smilin'
'Cause it's easily one of the hardest things to do
Your worries and fears become your friends
And they end up smilin' at you
Put on a smilin' face
