Backstreet Boys Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Cause I don't want to see you cry
I don't want you thinking I'm a bad guy
Sometimes I say some things
That I don't really mean
The last thing that I want is you mad at me
I know I know what I got to do
To get a get a smile out of you
Cross my eyes until I go blind
Before I go blind
Every time I think your sad I just make a funny face
(make a funny face yeah)
Even when I make you mad I put on my funny face
(on my funny face)
I like it when you smile (I like when you smile)
I love it when you laugh (I love it when you laugh)
I love it when you do it to so let me see your funny face (yeah)
It tickles me to see your trying not to laugh at me
'cause we both know your not as tough as you seem
I know you want to laugh (come on)
