Behind Your Smile Lyrics by Paul Young

No Parlez

1983

I believed every word that you said
When you told me that you were my friend
And if we could adjust each other
And might as well bring it to an end
But to stop me, that was all okay
And you just should ask me if I can
And you tell me everything that was happening
It seemed like everything was shared
But now behind your smile
And we are all around your shoulder
As it grows even wider, I can see
I can see behind your smile
Hey hey hey hey
Now you, you tell me that I owe you
Woman, you owe me all right
And you, you never seem to telephone
Or tell me when, when you're gonna be
But, but, but now you got your memories
And you got the money that I earned, uh-huh
The only thing that I have now is a lesson I have learned
But behind your smile
As it grows even wider, I can see
I can see behind your smile
You got—you gotta—hey hey hey
All right, yeah yeah
Behind your smile
Oh and we’re all around your shoulder
As it grows even wider, I can see
Oh I can see behind your smile
Yeah, hey!
I can see behind your smile, oh now now
Care for me, care for me
Yeah hey hey hey hey yeah yeah carefully
Oooh, find your temple, are you my own size?
Oh oh oh oh oh oh, hey hey hey hey
I can see behind, behind your smile
Care for me, no no
You can't help me no more
I learned my lesson well, uh huh
I learned my lesson well, huh huh, yes I do, hey hey yeah
I learned my lesson well
