When Will I See You Smile Again? Lyrics by Bell Biv DeVoe

Poison

1991

[Intro]
I'm so sorry, baby
I never meant to hurt you
Please forgive me
La-da-da, la, la-da-da-da-da-da-da
La-da-da-da, da-da, da, oh
[Verse 1]
Tears I see drop from your eyes
Tell me why you cry
Guilt I feel when you look at me
Did I let you down?
[Pre-Chorus]
Girl, you see that I, I apologize
Tell me what to do to get through to you
Girl, it's not the same, I know I was to blame
Just tell me, when will I see you smile again?
[Chorus]
Tell me, when will I see you smile again?
'Cause I know I messed up, baby (Oh)
And I know you're fed up, sugar (Ooh, hey, hey)
Tell me, when will I see you smile again? (Oh, ooh, oh, oh)
'Cause I know I messed up, baby
And I know you're fed up, sugar (Ah)
[Verse 2]
Promises I know I made many times before
And I broke each one of them
But I had to learn over and over again
Don't hurt the one you love
[Pre-Chorus]
Girl, you see that I, I apologize
Tell me what to do to get through to you
Girl, it's not the same, I know I was to blame
Just tell me, when will I see you smile again?
[Chorus]
Tell me, when will I see you smile again?
'Cause I know I messed up, baby (Oh)
And I know you're fed up, sugar (Oh, hey, hey)
Tell me, when will I see you smile again? (I wonder if you can tell me, tell me)
'Cause I know I messed up, baby
And I know you're fed up, sugar
[Bridge]
Look, baby, listen
Please forgive me for all the wrong I've done
You see, I just can't understand
Why I keep making the same damn mistake over and over again
But there's one question that remains in the back of my mind, love
And that is when will I see you smile again?
[Chorus]
Tell me, when will I see you smile again? (Maybe we can talk it over)
'Cause I know I messed up, baby (Maybe we can work it out)
And I know you're fed up, sugar
Tell me, when will I see you smile again? (Is there something I can say?)
'Cause I know I messed up, baby
And I know you're fed up, sugar (Is there something I can do? Hey, hey, hey, hey)
Tell me, when will I see you smile again? (Oh, ooh)
'Cause I know I messed up, baby (Girl)
And I know you're fed up, sugar (Yeah)
Tell me, when will I see you smile again? (Ooh)
'Cause I know I messed up, baby (Oh, hey, hey)
And I know you're—
