about

Bonus Track from "More Songs About Girls" recorded 1990.

lyrics

Walk on up, say hello
They won't notice, they don't know
What it means when suddenly everything makes sense

Now it's alright, it hits right home
All those nightmares all alone
All the weight and All the anger, it hasn't been back sense

I can think about you forever
I can think about you all day

When you smile
It let's me go on living
I can feel the world forgiving
Every stupid thing I've done
I never have to be alone again
When you smile

People talk and I don't hear
I couldn't care less, I have no fear
I've found a reason to leave the house who says that I can change

Now it's alright, it's not so bad
I'm not so wrong, I've not been had

I'm not even worried and it's wonderful and strange

I can think about you forever
I can think about you all day
When you smile
it lets me go on living
I can feel the world forgiving
Every stupid thing I've done
I never have to be alone again
when you smile

Won't you come around,
and bring me around
my world turns all around you
All around you
All around you
All around you

I can think about you forever
I can think about you all day
When you smile
it lets me go on living
I can feel the world forgiving
Every stupid thing I've done
I never have to be alone again
when you smile
