[Verse 1: Dave Gahan]
Wanted to feel the joy
Wanted to feel the joy

[Chorus: Dave Gahan]
Happiest girl I ever knew
Why do you smile the smile you do?
Happiest girl I ever knew
Happiest girl I ever knew

[Verse 2: Dave Gahan]
Wanted to feel the joy
Pass between our eyes
Wanted to feel the joy
Pass between our thighs

[Chorus: Dave Gahan & Martin L. Gore]
Happiest girl I ever knew
Why do you smile the smile you do?

[Bridge: Dave Gahan & Martin L. Gore]
And I would have to pinch her
Just to see if she was real
Just to watch the smile fade away
See the pain she'd feel
[Verse 1: Dave Gahan]
Wanted to feel the joy
Wanted to feel the joy

[Chorus: Dave Gahan & Martin L. Gore]
Happiest girl I ever knew
Why do you smile the smile you do?
Why do you smile the smile you do?
Why do you smile the smile you do?
Why do you smile the smile you do?
Why do you smile the smile you do?
