"(I Like It When You) Smile" lyrics - HARRY CONNICK, JR.

Woke up, wrong side of the bed
Baby it's my birthday
One more year closer to death
Couldn't be the worst day
That smile ain't nothin' to you
You make it look so easy
I walked up into here
Trying to buy a can of beer
Walked out with a case of wine

[Chorus:]
(Smile) I like it when you smile (I do)
I like it when you look me up and down and say
"Boy, have you got the time?"
(Smile) I like it when you smile (I do)
Just a little thing like that
Could put a spring up in my stride

I don't mind once in a while
You take advantage of me
Go ahead, go the extra mile but girl
You don't have to love me
Come on, say "have a good day"
And you really mean it
I try to pretend again and again
Waitin' for luck but I never know when
Sleep on the floor when I stay with my friends
Always wake up angry!

[Chorus]

[Interlude]

(I like it when you smile)
I like it when you smile
Hey, hey
I like it when I play it cool and then you
Burn me like a blazin' fire
(I like it when you smile)
I like it when you smile
The way you got mine
I like it when you knock me off my feet
Baby, make me walk the wire

Can I get your attention
The way you got mine?
Can I get your attention
Don't even walk the line

[Bridge:]
Listen, baby when you smile like that
I guess if I got with the feeling was like
You gave me a spike of my heart-(break)
You're an emotional defibrillator
But greater (greater; I'll have another one of those)
I'm really not trying to oppose myself
But you make me juxtapose myself
Expose myself
Just came enough to compose myself

[Chorus]

[Outro:]
(I like it when you smile)
I like it when you smile
Hey-hey (I do)
I like it when I play it cool and then you
Burn me like a blazin' fire
(I like it when you smile)
I like it when you smile
(I do)
I like it when you do, mm
You like it, mm
(Smile, I do)
