[Intro]
Oh!
Hey, hey! Ohh!
Here we go, y'all... Uh! That's right...
Hey, hey, yeah-yeah
So So Def
Ah, c'mon, girl, yeah, yeah, yeah
J.D.... Carl Mo... Ricky B.... let's ride
Can't forget about my boys... B–B–D
The Bell Biv DeVoe – here they go...

[Verse 1]
Tears, I see, drop from your eyes
Tell me why you cry
Guilt, I feel, when you look at me, girl
Did I let you down?

[Pre-Chorus]
(Ohhh...) Girl, you see that I...
(Oh...) I apologize!
(Ohhh...) Tell me what to do...
(Oh...) To get through to you!
(Ohhh....) Girl, it's not the same
(Oh...) I know I was to blame!
(Ohhh....) So tell me, when will I...
(Oh-oh...) See you smile again?
[Chorus]
Tell me, when will I see you smile again? (That's right)
'Cause I know I messed up, baby
And I know you're fed up, sugar (C'mon!)

Tell me, when will I see you smile again?
'Cause I know I messed up, baby
And I know you're fed up, sugar

[Verse 2]
Promises, I know I made many times before
And I broke each one of them (That's true)
But I had to learn over and over and over again, yeah
You don't hurt the one you love, ohhh

[Pre-Chorus]
(Ohhh...) Girl, you see that I...
(Oh...) I apologize!
(Ohhh...) Tell me what to do...
(Oh...) To get through to you!
(Ohhh....) Ah – girl, it's not the same
(Oh...) I know I was to blame!
(Ohhh....) So tell me, when will I...
(Oh-oh...) See you smile again?

[Chorus]
Tell me, when will I see you smile again? (Yeah... girl...)
'Cause I know I messed up, baby
And I know you're fed up, sugar
Tell me, when will I (Tell me!) see you smile again? (...when will I?)
(Tell me when when I see you smile again!)
'Cause I know I messed up, baby
And I know you're fed up, sugar (Uh! Ohh! Hey, hey!)

Tell me, when will I (Tell me!) see you smile again? (Huh, see you smile again!)
'Cause I know I messed up, baby
And I know you're fed up, sugar (Yeah! Yeahhhh-yeah)

Tell me, when will I (Uh!) see you smile again?
(Would you look in my eyes... look in my eyes, baby...)
'Cause I know I messed up, baby (Yeah, yeah)
And I know you're fed up, sugar (Ooh... hey, hey!)
