Billy Bragg & The Blokes Lyrics

"She Smiled Sweetly"
(originally by The Rolling Stones)

Why do my thoughts loom so large on me?
They seem to stay for day after day
They won't disappear, I've tried every way
But she smiled sweetly
She smiled sweetly
She smiled sweetly and said don't worry
Oh no no no

Where does she hide it inside of her?
Keeps her peace most every day
Won't disappear, my hair's turning grey
But she smiled sweetly
She smiled sweetly
She smiled sweetly and said don't worry
Oh no no no

There's nothing in why or when
There's no use in trying
You're here begging again and again and again

That's what she said so softly
I understood for once in my life
Feeling good most all of the time
But she smiled sweetly
She smiled sweetly
She smiled sweetly and said don't worry
Oh no no no...


Writer(s): Mick Jagger, Keith Richards
