Eraserheads Lyrics

Of the things that could go wrong along the way
You'll get by with a smile
You can't win at everything but you can try
Baby, you don't have to worry
'Cause there ain't no need to hurry
No one ever said that there's an easy way
And they don't want you anymore
This sounds funny but I'll say it anyway
Girl, I'll stay through the bad times
Even if I have to fetch you everyday
You'll get by if you smile
You can never be too happy in this life
In a world where everybody hates a happy ending story
It's a wonder love can make the world go 'round
But don't let it bring you down and turn your face into a frown
You'll get along with a little prayer and a song
(To-do-do-do)
(To-do-do-do)
(To-do-do-do, do-do)
(Do-do, do-do)
Let me hear you sing it
(To-do-do-do)
(To-do-do-do)
(To-do-do-do, do-do)
(Do-do, do-do)
'Cause in a world where everybody hates a happy ending story
It's a wonder love can make the world go 'round
But don't let it bring you down and turn your face into a frown
You'll get along with a little prayer and a song
Lift your head, baby, don't be scared
Of the things that could go wrong along the way
You'll get by with a smile
Now it's time to kiss away those tears goodbye
(To-do-do-do)
(To-do-do-do)
(To-do-do-do, do-do)
(Do-do, do-do)
Let me hear you sing it
(To-do-do-do)

Lift your head, baby, don't be scared
Of the things that could go wrong along the way
You'll get by with a smile
You can't win at everything but you can try.
Baby, you don't have to worry
'Coz there ain't no need to hurry
No one ever said that there's an easy way
When they're closing all their doors
And they don't want you anymore
This sounds funny but I'll say it anyway.
Girl I'll stay through the bad times
Even if I have to fetch you everyday
We'll get by with a smile
You can never be too happy in this life.
In a world where everybody
Hates a happy ending story
It's a wonder love can make the world go round
But don't let it bring you down
And turn your face into a frown
You'll get along with a little prayer and a song.

Let me hear you sing it

In a world where everybody
Hates a happy ending story

Lift your head, baby, don't be scared
Of the things that could go wrong along the way
You'll get by with a smile

I love Eraserheads. Their songs are very deep and lyrical. Old songs are very much better than songs nowadays.

Bat puro nalang ganito, mga mainstream lang ang hindi masyadong maganda, look further para sa mga magagandang kanta

For me this is the best live version of With the Smile. No tune revision. Pure music performance, walang mga pasakalye. Sarap sa tenga. No wonder, dinig na dinig ung sabay ng crowd sa kanta.
