Sitting in my class, just drifting away
Staring into the windows of the world, yeah
I can't hear the teacher, his books don't call me at all
I don't see the bad boys tryin' to catch some play

'Cause I love your smile
I love your smile

The clock at work says three
And I wanna be free
Free to scream, free to bathe, free to paint
My toes all day
My boss is lame you know, and so is the pay
I'm gonna put that new black mini on my charge anyway

'Cause I love your smile
(Hey) Said I love your smile

Time came and showed me your direction
Now I know I'll never ever go back
Taught me that
I can be a better girl 
With love you give, you rock my world
You dig

I'm showin' the life that I'm livin'
This is the life that I have
And it's given to you
Yeah, and it's true
Ladida, twinkly-dee
Do you, believe in a girl like me?
Shanice is the one for you to be with
But when I'm caught all alone
I start fessin'
It's from state of depression
And then the thunder clouds of doubt move in
I begin to wonder, "Do you still love me?"
But after that
My whole world is beautiful

Blow, Branford, blow

Time came and showed me your direction
Now I know I'll never ever go back
Taught me that
I can be a better girl 
With love you give, you rock my world

Smile, sike

Ooh, I love your smile (smile for me)
And yes I do, boy
I love your smile
I love your smile, baby

I love your smile
I really do
