lily

seemingly pure

simple  …yet elegant

sensuous shape  …luscious scent

sublime

·Ɣ·

like you…

 potent aphrodisiac

tempts me to touch…     caress

my one desire

…Lily

“Smile”   Lily Allen

lyrics ~

When you first left me
I was wanting more
But you were fucking that girl next door
What’d you do that for?
What’d you do that for?

When you first left me
I didn’t know what to say
I’ve never been on my own that way
Just sat by myself all day

I was so lost back then
But with a little help from my friends
I found a light in the tunnel at the end

Now you’re calling me up on the phone
So you can have a little whine and a moan
It’s only because you’re feeling alone

At first, when I see you cry
It makes me smile
Yeah, it makes me smile

At worst, I feel bad for a while
But then I just smile
I go ahead and smile

Whenever you see me
You say that you want me back
And I tell you it don’t mean jack
No, it don’t mean jack

I couldn’t stop laughing
No, I just couldn’t help myself
See you messed up my mental health
I was quite unwell

I was so lost back then
But with a little help from my friends
I found a light in the tunnel at the end

Now you’re calling me up on the phone
So you can have a little whine and a moan
It’s only because you’re feeling alone

At first, when I see you cry
It makes me smile
Yeah, it makes me smile

At worst, I feel bad for a while
But then I just smile
I go ahead and smile

La la la la la la
La la la la la la
La la la la la la
La la la la la la
La la la la la la
La la la la la la
La la la

At first, when I see you cry
It makes me smile
Yeah, it makes me smile

At worst, I feel bad for a while
But then I just smile
I go ahead and smile

At first, when I see you cry
It makes me smile
Yeah, it makes me smile

At worst, I feel bad for a while
But then I just smile
I go ahead and smile
