Every Time You Smile

I understand that you’re mad at me
I understand that you’re sad, I see
I didn’t mean to cause you pain
I just want to send you sunshine your way,
But it turned into rain
Every time you smile, I want to make your day

I’m sorry I was shady
I caused you trouble, baby
I upset you so...no lies...
I can see it in your eyes...
I can see it in your eyes...
I’m sorry I was shady...
I’m afraid I let you down
I’m sorry so much lately...
I painted your smile with a frown
Painted your smile with a frown

Your smile is like a rainbow
Your eyes are like the sea aflow
Sorry for being shady, baby
Because your love sent me crazy
Your love sent me crazy
Every time you smile
I’m sorry I was shady
I didn’t mean to hurt you, baby
I cheated on you frankly
And lately, I can’t forgive me
I’m really sorry lately...
For being a guy so shady...
Your smile is like a rainbow
Your eyes are like the sea aflow
Sorry for being shady, baby
Because your love sent me crazy
Your love sent me crazy
Every time you smile

I understand you are accepting of me
I understand you accept my apologies
But, I can’t stay mad at myself, baby
Sometimes, life gets rough
I will do what you please, 
Even if times get so tough
I will love you anyways — just don’t be a tease

I’m sorry I was shady
I caused you trouble, baby
I upset you so...no lies...
I can see it in your eyes...
I can see it in your eyes...
I’m sorry I was shady...
I’m afraid I let you down
I’m sorry so much lately...
I painted your smile with a frown
Painted your smile with a frown

Your smile is like a rainbow
Your eyes are like the sea aflow
Sorry for being shady, baby
Because your love sent me crazy
Your love sent me crazy
Every time you smile
I’m sorry I was shady
I didn’t mean to hurt you, baby
I cheated on you frankly
And lately, I can’t forgive me
I’m really sorry lately...
For being a guy so shady...
Your smile is like a rainbow
Your eyes are like the sea aflow
Sorry for being shady, baby
Because your love sent me crazy
Your love sent me crazy
Every time you smile

I hate myself now...now...now...
I wish I was gone somehow
I wipe sweat off my brow, brow
I need you and I want you now

I’m sorry I was shady
I caused you trouble, baby
I upset you so...no lies...
I can see it in your eyes...
I can see it in your eyes...
I’m sorry I was shady...
I’m afraid I let you down
I’m sorry so much lately...
I painted your smile with a frown
Painted your smile with a frown

Your smile is like a rainbow
Your eyes are like the sea aflow
Sorry for being shady, baby
Because your love sent me crazy
Your love sent me crazy
Every time you smile
I’m sorry I was shady
I didn’t mean to hurt you, baby
I cheated on you frankly
And lately, I can’t forgive me
I’m really sorry lately...
For being a guy so shady...
Your smile is like a rainbow
Your eyes are like the sea aflow
Sorry for being shady, baby
Because your love sent me crazy
Your love sent me crazy
Every time you smile

I’m sorry I was shady
I caused you trouble, baby
I upset you so...no lies...
I can see it in your eyes...
I can see it in your eyes...
I’m sorry I was shady...
I’m afraid I let you down
I’m sorry so much lately...
I painted your smile with a frown
Painted your smile with a frown

Your smile is like a rainbow
Your eyes are like the sea aflow
Sorry for being shady, baby
Because your love sent me crazy
Your love sent me crazy
Every time you smile
I’m sorry I was shady
I didn’t mean to hurt you, baby
I cheated on you frankly
And lately, I can’t forgive me
I’m really sorry lately...
For being untrue to you
And doing it unfaithfully
Your smile is like a rainbow
Your eyes are like the sea aflow
Sorry for being shady, baby
Because your love sent me crazy
Your love sent me crazy
Every time you smile

Goodnight, can we talk longer?
I love you, my long-lost lover
Good morning to a new day
Sunshine will fade away the dismay
Sunshine will fade away the shadiness all day everyday
I didn’t mean to cause you pain
I just wanted to send you sunshine your way,
But it turned into rain once again

But, I do still love you honestly and all I say is true 
And I am not throwing shade this time, baby, I love you 
Every time you smile
I will run an extra mile
Just to see you smile
This is only a temporary trial
