[Verse 1]
When you first left me
I was wantin' more
But you were doing that girl next door
What'cha do that for? (What'cha do that for?)
When you first left me
I didn't know what to say (Say)
I never been on my own that way
Just sat by myself all day

[Pre-Chorus]
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 feelin' alone

[Chorus]
At first, when I see you cry
Yeah, it makes me smile
Yeah, it makes me smile
At worst, I feel bad for a while
But then I just smile
I go ahead and smile
[Verse 2]
Whenever you see me
You say that you want me back (Want me back)
And I tell you it don't mean jack (It don't mean jack)
No, it don't mean jack (No, it don't mean jack)
(Ah)
Couldn't help myself (Help myself)
See, you messed up my mental health (Mental health)
I was quite unwell

[Pre-Chorus]
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 feelin' alone

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

[Chorus]
At first, when I see you cry (When I see you cry)
Yeah, it makes me smile (It makes me smile)
Yeah, it makes me smile (It makes me smile)
At worst, I feel bad for a while (I feel bad for a while)
But then I just smile (But then I just smile)
I go ahead and smile
I go ahead and smile
At first, when I see you cry (La-la-la, la-la-la)
Yeah, it makes me smile (La-la-la, la-la-la)
Yeah, it makes me smile (La-la-la, la-la-la)
At worst, I feel bad for a while (La-la-la, la-la-la)
But then I just smile (La-la-la, la-la-la)
I go ahead and smile (Smile)
