[Verse 1] I've been on this earth for 58 years I've had my time of laughter and tears All I want now for the rest of time Is to keep on smiling, and keep myself fine [Chorus ] I just want to smile I just want to smile Life's too short to waste on being mad I just want to smile I just want to smile Take the good times, forget the bad [Verse 2] I'm a simple man with simple needs And I wear my heart on my sleeve Don't need much to get me through the day But I just want to smile [Chorus ] I just want to smile I just want to smile Life's too short to waste on being mad I just want to smile I just want to smile Take the good times, forget the bad [Rap/Hip-Hop Break] Yo, listen up, let me break it down quick Your time is ticking away, that's the trick Every second that you're bitter, every minute that you're sour Is a moment that you're wasting, that's an hour of your power Kiss the ones you love, make 'em feel the joy inside Smiles are free, hugs don't cost a dime, that's no lie Do what you love every single day, no delay Life doesn't last very long, so don't throw it away Clock is running, heart is pumping, make it count now Choose your happiness, take a stand, take a vow Clear the anger, clear the hate, clear the stress and strife 'Cause you only get one shot, one chance, one life [Verse 3] So life is short and everybody knows That you treasure what you got if only for a while So clear my way of bullshit and leave me in my bubble 'Coz I just want to smile, I just want to smile [Chorus ] I just want to smile I just want to smile Life's too short to waste on being mad I just want to smile I just want to smile Take the good times, forget the bad [Outro ] I just want to smile Yeah, I just want to smile That's all I need I just want to smile
